Summary:
|
New Directions Solutions dba ProCare Therapy is a non-public agency (NPA) that provides classroom paraprofessionals, 1:1 paraprofessionals, behavior 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. New Directions Solutions dba ProCare Therapy 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.
