Summary:
|
Due to lack of District foreign language interpreters, it is necessary to hire contract interpreters. Advanced Interpreting Services (AIS) will provide foreign language interpreters on an on-call basis to act as interpreters for non-English speaking parents to access educational programs and activities, and for assessment of limited English speaking students. AIS will also provide translation of correspondence to parents in cases of suspension or expulsion as well as translation of the annual Parent Information Packet. Contract interpreters will provide services under the supervision of a certificated employee of MDUSD at all times. Based on past history and the increasing diversity within the community, this will be an ongoing, predictable expense. |
