Seem Collaborative Board of Directors Meeting

The meeting included discussions and actions on several key areas. There was advocacy for supplemental state funding to offset facility costs for Collaboratives. SEEM is planning to offer threat and risk assessment training, expand restorative justice practices, offer per diem licenses for gen-ed teachers, increase BCBA support, and hire a school psychologist. A self-contained classroom at Campus Academy will open for students with cognitive disabilities, and SEEM Prep is partnering with Reading Public Schools for inclusion opportunities. An update was given on the SEEM Deaf and Hard of Hearing program, including declining enrollment and potential staffing changes. The Board discussed creating a team for program evaluations and a job alike group for school business administrators. A financial report was presented, and the Board approved the updated Title IX policy. The Board also voted to retain surplus funds and accepted the Executive Director's evaluation. Board meeting dates for 2025-2026 were presented and accepted, and departing Board members were recognized.
