I.E.11) MoCI Classroom Expansion
Description:
The Eaton RESA Special Education Funding Committee and local district superintendents are recommending the opening of a third Meadowview School Adult MoCI classroom at the Union Street location beginning in the 2026-27 school year. The two existing adult MoCI classrooms are expected to be full with incoming students transitioning from the high school MoCI program, and local districts anticipate approximately nine additional student placements next year. The proposed classroom would require one certified MoCI teacher and two paraprofessionals, with the potential for a third paraprofessional based on student needs. The estimated annual staffing cost is $155,351, with tuition costs billed back to the resident local districts. Supporting documentation is included in the Eaton RESA Special Education Funding System Review Topic Issue Document regarding the opening of a third Adult MoCI Classroom.

I.E.12) 1755 ECSE FTE Increase
Description:
The Eaton RESA Special Education Funding Committee and local district superintendents are recommending the addition of a second 1755 ECSE Teacher beginning in the 2026-27 school year due to increased student needs. The expansion is necessary to support services across multiple GSRP classroom sites, Head Start programs, private daycares, and community preschool settings, which have created challenges for local districts attempting to staff offsite locations with ECSE teachers. The estimated annual cost for the additional position, including salary and benefits, is between $117,200 and $129,700 depending on placement on the salary schedule. Tuition costs will continue to be billed back to resident local districts based on a caseload of 15 students, with any remaining cost shared through the special education funding system. Supporting documentation is included in the Eaton RESA Special Education Funding System Review Topic Issue Document regarding the addition of a 1755 ECSE Teacher.
