Summary:
Staff is requesting a new job description for Occupational Therapist - Special Education. At this time, the standard Occupational Therapist position is a classified 261 day position which includes 24 vacation days and 12 holidays at Range 7. In addition to the current job description, we are requesting a new job description for an Occupational Therapist - Special Education. This position would be at the same range on the salary schedule but would be 238 days and would not include vacation days. Duties and responsibilities would be comparable but the work year would be shorter. Currently, the 261 day Occupational Therapist position provides for coverage for extended school year. These new positions will allow the District to employ Occupational Therapists for the regular school year only. This is needed due to fewer students attending school during the extended school year period. All of the current 261 day positions will remain in place.

This job description was brought forward for information only at the last Board meeting. It is now being presented for action.
