Summary
:
Mt. Diablo utilizes independent service contractors to provide services established through the Individualized Education Plan. Beyond the Words provide services for sign language interpreters for students in the Deaf/Hard of Hearing (D/HH) Program.
This past year, two district interpreters retired and another went from full-time to .30. This reduction in district personnel and an inability to hire district interpreters has led to an increase in using Beyond the Words interpreters to meet the students needs.
The Personnel Services Department and Special Education have and will continue to work diligently to find district staff and will continue to promote these positions in order to attract individuals to apply.
Funding
:
This increase will be funded by the vacancy savings allocated from open positions. General Purpose/Special Education Code 1218 for $255,000.00.
Fiscal Impact
:
This fiscal amount of $255,000.00 is already budgeted for the 2016-2017 school year.
Recommendation
:
Approve the increase to the contract between Mt. Diablo Unified School District and Beyond the Words for sign language interpreters.
