Summary:
|
On December 13, 2011, the Board approved a contract increase with Independent Contractor Beyond the Words for $100,000 to provide the District with staffing of Educational Interpreters for the Deaf. This was due to the difficulty in finding and hiring qualified interpreters. The district currently has vacancies of 4.05 FTE at this position. To meet the required needs of students’ Individualized Education Plans, the district has had to use staff contracted through this agency. This year district staff has missed more than the usual amount of time due to illness. Therefore, contract expenses have increased greatly. It is necessary to increase the contract amount by $95,000 for the remainder of the year.
