Professional Services Agreement - Mary Mertz PT Services 17-18.pdf
Summary: The Perris Union High School District would like to enter into an Agreement for Professional Consultant Services with Mary Mertz, Physical Therapist (PT) for the 2017-18 school year. These services would be used to provide physical therapy services including assessment, report writing, Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) services, and attendance at IEP meetings. These services would be provided to District students who require triennial assessments, additional assessments and/or initial assessments according to their IEP. This Agreement will also cover any compensatory services owed to our students.

The term of this Agreement shall be from January 8, 2018 to June 7, 2018 at a total cost not-to-exceed $15,000.

This Agreement is being brought to the Board as a ratification due to the limited availability of a physical therapist in our area and the immediate need for services.

Education Code 17604 and 17605: The Governing Board delegates the power to contract and purchase supplies, equipment and services.
Funding: The cost for this item is included in the 2017-18 operating budget funded through Special Education, Fund 06.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Trustees ratify the Agreement for Professional Consultant Services with Mary Mertz for physical therapy services and assessments.
