Bad decision. She is an asset to the school and the community.
Are you kidding me?? Northampton school board needs to wake up and see that these kids need stability not some random contractor coming in once a week.
Please dont do this. We need consistent therapy for the students who really struggle and this will just set them back.
My son has truly thrived under Lorraine's care. You cannot put a price tag on that kind of progress for these kids.
Stupid move. Typical budget cuts hitting the people who actually help. Fix this.

This is totally backwards. Outsourcing always ends up costing more in the long run. Keep her on staff!
