Budget PlanningProfessional ServicesDetected Jun 8, 2026

The FY 2027 tentative budget prioritizes expanded student wellness supports, including homebound instruction, hospital transitions, grief support, restorative justice, and continued support for the ETHS Transition House, Day School, alternative school (ALT School), and Safe School tuition placements. Budget sections detail substantial spending in Special Education (including private/public placements and room-and-board), Social Work Services, Psychological Services, Substance Prevention Services, Alternative School & Support Services, and TRUANTS/Alternative & Optional Education programs. While many services are internal, multiple line items fund professional services, contract services, and tuition to private facilities, with no specific agencies named.This suggests ongoing or upcoming procurement of specialized providers for therapeutic programming, alternative placements, transportation, home-hospital instruction, behavioral health, and wraparound supports—offering engagement opportunities for special ed providers, mental health agencies, alternative education operators, and related professional service firms.

The budget is reacting to persistent mental health and attendance challenges (e.g., school refusal) and aims to expand programming for students with attendance and wellness concerns, pointing to a need for scalable external supports.
