Re:  Board Report for April 2026

Welcome Spring.  This time of the year is very busy for Special Education staff and the district.  We will be engaging in completing evaluations, transition meetings, planning and regrouping for the next school year.  I appreciate all of the hard work that my staff complete everyday at school and would like to thank them for their resilience in coming to school and supporting students and staff everyday.

We currently have 140 identified students in the district and 14 students in the referral process.  It is our goal to complete and have follow up meetings for the students in the referral process before the end of the school year.  We were able to contract with another Psychological Evaluator to help us through the increased number of referrals by the end of the year.  

We completed our state financial audits and our special education paperwork audit.  Both audits went very well.  We will continue to work with the audit team to address any changes that they would like to see in our paperwork.  Again, I would like to thank the hard work of my teaching staff and case managers who work to complete special education paperwork and deliver instructional services daily.  Their hard work and attention to detail was noted by the auditors and I.  The day spent with the audit team also offered a day of professional development for all of my teaching staff that was specific to their completed paperwork.  Again, this was a great learning experience for my teaching staff and I.

We held our transition meetings for students identified by CDS and our grade eight students.  We have scheduled the grade five transition meetings.  We look forward to smooth transitions into new buildings for these students.

I am looking forward to a strong finish to the school year.

Respectfully Submitted,

Tammy Wyman
