Summary:
Jennifer Parenti is an independent service contractor, credentialed to teach students with qualifications for special education services in Deaf/Hard of Hearing for school-based services that are identified on Individual Education Plans (IEP's). When Mt.

Jennifer Parenti is utilized to provide Deaf / Hard of Hearing services to ensure that all of our needed services are covered for the 2022-2023 school year. Mt. Diablo Unified School District Human Resources and Special Education continues to recruit and hire district employees.
