The Personnel Services Department and Special Education have worked diligently to find district staff to cover these positions. Together, they have presented at job fairs at colleges and professional organization conferences for speech pathologists. These efforts led to multiple applications, interviews and offers of employment with the district.
The Special Education Department will work with Personnel Services to find ways to attract speech pathologists to MDUSD. pathologists (SLP) for vacant SLP positions in the district, independent speech evaluations, and speech services for Non Public Schools.
