Summary:
|
|
Staff recommends approval of a We Can Work contract with the Department of Rehabilitation to provide services for students who meet the definition of a Student with a Disability who need We Can Work (WCW) services.
Students with disabilities from the Bridge Program based at the Loma Vista Adult
Education Campus will be referred to the DOR office in Concord for WCW services to
allow them to obtain skills and insight into the world of work. Mt. Diablo USD staff will
identify students who can benefit from DOR services. The referral process includes Mt.
Diablo USD staff providing DOR a completed referral form, copy of signed releases of
information, school disability documentation (ITP/IEP, current Psycho-Educational
Report, and/or academic records) and any other DOR documents necessary for
enrollment in DOR Student Services. Services will also be made available to DOR
applicants and/or recipients of DOR services within the Blind Field Services (BFS)
District as appropriate.
This contract will focus specifically on the provision of Work-based Learning
Experience services and will fund paid internships up to 100 hours per student.
A We Can Work (WCW) may provide DOR student services to students who are not
younger than 16 nor older than 21 years, unless the student is participating in a special
education program and receiving services beyond the age of 21 (for students
participating in secondary education programs such as adult transition programs), but
not beyond the point at which a program participant exits their special education
program.
The WCW contractor, Mt. Diablo Unified School District, will provide information to
program participants with ID/DD ages 16-21 regarding Employment First, opportunities
for employment, and supports to achieve Competitive Integrated Employment.
For fiscal year 2023-2024, a total of 30 unduplicated participants will receive services
through this contract.
For fiscal year 2024-2025, a total of 30 unduplicated participants will receive services
through this contract.
For fiscal year 2025-2026, a total of 30 unduplicated participants will receive services
through this contract. |
