11.10.2026 FRSC - Special Education, Alternative Education and Early Childhood Subcommittee

The Fall River School Committee's Special Education, Alternative Education, and Early Childhood Subcommittee met on November 10, 2026, to review staffing requests, alternative education updates, alternative suspension programming, and an out-of-district placement contract. Special Education leadership presented requests for additional staffing driven by an influx of over 200 special education students since July, bringing the district's total special education enrollment to 3,258 students. The subcommittee approved motions supporting the addition of an occupational therapy assistant, a physical therapy assistant, and a dual-language special education teacher for the Greene School, and voted to refer a proposed 12-month administrative position for specialized programs and transitions to the full committee following a regional salary comparison.
