Summary: Jennifer Parenti is an independent service contractor, credentialed to teach students with qualifications for special education services in Deaf / Hard of Hearing for school-based services that are identified on Individual Education Plans (IEP's).

Jennifer Parenti is utilized to provide Deaf / Hard of Hearing services to ensure that all of our needed services are covered for the 2024-2025 school year. Mt. Diablo Unified School District Human Resources and Special Education continues to recruit and hire district employees.
