Summary: Bright Paths Therapy is a non-public agency (NPA) that provides Physical and Occupational Therapists for school based services that are identified on Individual Education Plans (IEP's). When the district (MDUSD) is not able to fill all open positions with district employees, the use of contract agencies is necessary to ensure that we are in compliance with state and federal law that govern special education. Bright Paths Therapy is a company that will be utilized to provide Physical Therapists to ensure that all of our needed Physical Therapy services are covered for the 2017-2018 school year, as MDUSD does not have a job description for Physical Therapists.
Funding: Special Education Department Program Code 1217 Occupational / Physical Therapy & APE
Fiscal Impact The contracted amount between MDUSD and Bright Paths Therapy is for $270,000
Recommendation: Approve the Master Contract between Mt. Diablo Unified School District and Bright Paths Therapy for physical and occupational therapy services for the 2017/18 school year.
