• Manage and oversee the Early Intervention (EI) transition process, including conducting TPBA (17 transitions in the previous year).
• Attend MTSS referral meetings for individual students as needed.
• Maintain thorough documentation and adhere to all district procedures.
• As the psychologist is not assigned to a specific building, regular involvement in daily student or staff support is not required.

Position Details:

• Hours: 7:45 AM – 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday.
• Contract Position running through June 19, 2027.
