In a recent meeting held on January 9, the Brookline School Committee addressed ongoing concerns regarding the procurement of special education services for students. Reports indicated that some students in Brookline have not been receiving essential services mandated by law. Superintendent Linus Guillory, along with School Committee leaders, provided updates on the district's efforts to rectify these issues.
To ensure compliance and improve service delivery, the School Committee announced plans to conduct a thorough audit of its purchasing practices related to special education. This initiative aims to identify any shortcomings in the current procurement process and implement necessary changes to better serve students with special needs.
In addition to the audit, the district has made significant strides in fulfilling previously delayed contracts, which is a positive step toward ensuring that all students receive the support they require. The committee's commitment to transparency and accountability is expected to enhance the overall quality of special education services in Brookline.
