Summary:
The school-based Clinical Audiologists job description is being revised and updated to reflect the current expectations and responsibilities of this position. This update includes a summary statement of the job, the additional functions and responsibilities and states expected knowledge and abilities. Additionally, the job description now lists the expected education, certifications or licensures. It is recommended that the position move from a 185 day calendar to a 207 day calendar so the Audiologist is available during extended school year. This would allow the Audiologist to provide hearing testing, deaf/hard of hearing assessments, consultations with families, inventory maintenance, coordination of equipment repair or replacement, and auditory processing testing and evaluations as identified by IEP and 504 teams.

As there is only one Clinical Audiologist in the District, we are requesting that this increased work year begin immediately so as to provide services for the 2017 summer school session, which begins June 19, 2017.

This revised and updated job description is being brought forward for information and action.
