Summary:
On June 12, 2024, the Board of Trustees of The Perris Union High School District approved the Agreement for Professional Services with Rise Interpreting, Inc. for 1:1 American Sign Language Instructional Aide services for one (1) individual student according to the student’s IEP requirements. This Amendment No. 1 would adjust the Agreement’s Scope of Work to include an American Sign Language Interpreter for one (1) other student at a different school site and increase the total contract cost by approximately $57,000 based on service needs known to date; for a total estimated contract cost of $159,900. The term of this Amendment No. 1 shall commence on December 3, 2024, through the original contract’s termination date of June 30, 2025. This item is being brought before the Board as a ratification due to the need for services to begin upon the student’s first day of class and comply with the student’s IEP requirements.  
Funding:
The cost for this item is included in the 2024-25 operating budget funded through Special Education, not the General Fund.
