MOUs in packet add stipends, expectations for Interveners and media paraprofessionals
Summary
The packet includes two memoranda of understanding: Interveners (paraprofessionals trained to support deaf/blind students) will receive a $1,200 annual stipend with a five-year commitment expectation; media paraprofessionals at two middle schools will receive $600 per semester when no Media Specialist is assigned.
The packet contains a Memorandum of Understanding for Interveners—paraprofessionals trained to support students who are deaf and blind—that describes training expectations, a stipend of $1,200 per year paid in two $600 installments, and an expectation that interveners move with the student and remain in the role for a minimum of five years (with limited exceptions for career advancement). The MOU states the stipend is paid only if the intervenor is assigned to a student requiring those services; interveners may be expected to substitute when needed.
A second MOU addresses Media Paraprofessionals at East and West Middle Schools. It provides a $600-per-semester stipend ($1,200 per year) to paraprofessionals working as media personnel in buildings without an assigned Media Specialist; the stipend is prorated if a Media Specialist is reinstated during the year. Both MOUs appear as appendices to the contract packet and are presented for board approval along with the broader agreement.
