Summary:
|
On August 23, 2011, the Board approved an Independent Contract with Beyond the Words for $150,000 to provide the District with staffing of Educational Interpreters for the Deaf. Based on 2010-11 actual expenditures of $232,753.50 and an increased need for Interpreter coverage, it is necessary to increase the contract amount by $100,000 for the remainder of the school year.
Due to the difficulty in hiring qualified Educational Interpreters for the Deaf, the district has had to use staff contracted through an agency in order to meet student Individualized Education Program (IEP) requirements. There are currently limited substitutes available in the district for Educational Interpreters for the Deaf so contracted interpreters are also used as substitutes for absent district staff. The District currently has vacancies of 4.05 FTE at this position.
