Summary:
MDUSD utilizes Independent Service Contractors to provide services established through the Individual Education Plans (IEP) for services related to Physical Therapy. Bright Paths Therapy provides PT's to fill two of the three positions required to meet the needs of the students at Mt. Diablo Unified School District.

Mt. Diablo Unified currently does not have a job description or management position for physical therapists to become district employees, therefore requiring the use of independent contact agencies to fill these positions.
 
Funding:
General Purpose / Special Education Code 1218: $70,000  
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact is $70,000 and is already budgeted for the 2016-2017 school year.
