10.C. Approval of Amendment #2 to CCRES Agreement to provide Special Education Consultant Services from 10/22/2026 through 12/23/2026, not to exceed 15 hours per week, at a total billing rate of $82.50 per hour
Description:
The administration recommends approval of a part-time consulting agreement with Mrs. Jill Schweizer to provide specialized support for the district's autism programming. Initial focus will be on supporting the autistic support programming at Barclay Elementary School. This school has newer autistic programming and serves students with highly specialized needs. We also have newer staff (teachers) in this school leading these classrooms.
This recommendation is based on Mrs. Schweizer extensive experience and specialized expertise. During her tenure as Special Education Supervisor, she was responsible for overseeing autism programs from kindergarten through age 21, as well as district behavioral intervention services. Her professional background includes advanced certifications in special education supervision, educational leadership, and special education, along with coursework in Applied Behavior Analysis and ongoing training in behavior management and crisis prevention. Following her retirement, Mrs. Schweizer has remained actively engaged in the field of autism and special education through leadership, consulting, training, and program development roles. She developed both the Master's in Special Education program and the Autism Support Endorsement program at Delaware Valley University, reflecting her recognized expertise in preparing educators to serve students with complex learning and behavioral needs. The district is experiencing increasingly complex student needs within its autism programs, creating a need for additional specialized expertise to support staff, strengthen programming, and ensure consistent implementation of evidence-based practices. Mrs. Schweizer's role would include mentoring and coaching staff, helping refine program structures and supports, assisting with problem-solving around student needs, and providing consultation on instructional and behavioral programming. An additional benefit of this engagement is the opportunity to build internal capacity. Mrs. Schweizer will work alongside district program specialists and school-based teams, sharing her expertise and helping develop sustainable systems and practices. This consulting arrangement will provide both immediate program support and long-term capacity building for our staff and schools.
