Summary:

|
Therapy Staff, LLC is a non-public agency (NPA) that provides classroom paraprofessionals, 1:1 paraprofessionals, behaivor therapist and registered behavior technicians to support our students with Individual Education Plans (IEP's). When Mt. Diablo Unified School District is not able to fill all open positions with district employees, the use of contract agencies is necessary to ensure that we are in compliance with state and federal law that governs special education. Therapy Staff, LLC is a company that is utilized to provide these services to ensure that all of our needed services are covered for the 2022-2023 school year. Mt. Diablo Unified School District Human Resources, Student Services and Special Education continues to recruit and hire district employees.
It was necessary to increase this contract by $115,000.00 to complete all payments for the 22/23 fiscal year. We are returning to the Board for ratification of Amendment #4 increasing the total contract to $311,000.00 for the 22/23 fiscal year. |
