Summary:
|
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.
In an attempt to recruit more district staff, MDUSD has offered a signing bonus and increased the base pay for all Educational Interpreters.
