Information Item
Discussion:
Jean Anderson was present from the ESPD was present to share updates. She attended NASES meeting they focused on MIPS on the first day. Jenifer Irvine, Fairbanks explained the two cost pools for reimbursements. They are not going to make a deicsion if the ESUCC should be on a district list. Nebraska is the only state that did not align the service agent employees with the service agency. They are going to need help from ESUCC on how we can get services back to the school districts. Clear guidance on ESU employees working in districts, are they ESU or district. ESU 7 pays for non-reimbursables. They are giving services back to the district. Need to give back equitably across districts.
