Summary:
|
Mt. Diablo Unified School District utilizes Independent Service Contractors to provide services established through the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) process. Speech Pathology Group (SPG) provides speech and language pathologists (SLP) for vacant SLP positions in the district, independent speech evaluations, and speech services to Non-Public Schools. SPG also provides complimentary professional development, and continuing education units as a service to the district.
The Personnel Services and Special Education Departments have worked diligently to find district staff to cover these positions. Together, they have presented at job fairs at colleges and professional organization conferences for speech pathologists. These efforts led to multiple applications, interviews and offers of employment with the district.
The Special Education Department will work with Personnel Services to find ways to attract speech pathologists to MDUSD.
An increase of $330,000 is requested at this time, in order to maintain services as established in the students' IEP's. The District has been able to review Non-Public Agency Contracts and has decreased under-utilized contracts in order to accommodate this increase.
