Summary: The Mt. Diablo/Spectrum Collaborative Program Model began in 2003, at a time when the District had not developed autism specific classrooms. The purpose of this model was to provide immediate programs and services for students that were both FAPE (Free and Appropriate Public Education) and LRE (Least Restrictive Environment) by having these classrooms on District comprehensive school sites. As the District has implemented its plan for autism classrooms and services, corresponding adjustments to the Spectrum classrooms have occurred.
Mt. Diablo Unified School District is proposing to continue to collaborate with Spectrum Center, a Non-Public School, to serve students on one District campus for the 2014-2015 school year. The details of the agreement and the history of cost reductions can be found in the attachments.
Funding: General Purpose/Special Education
Program Code 1660 Non-Public Schools
Fiscal Impact The Master Contract with Spectrum Center was approved by the Board of Education on August 13, 2014. Funds have been encumbered to cover these anticipated costs.
Recommendation: Approve the Memorandum of Understanding with Spectrum Center.
