Questar III BOCES announces a full-time (6-week summer program) Physical Therapist position to support Questar III special education students during ESY located at the following school locations:

• George Washington School (Troy)

• Rensselaer Academy (Rensselaer)
• Sackett Educational Center (Castleton-on-Hudson)

The Physical Therapist is responsible for assessing, planning, and providing therapy services to students with physical disabilities or motor delays.

This position will provide Physical Therapy services in accordance with student IEP's.

Extended Summer Year (ESY) Schedule is as follows:

• July 2, 2026 - Orientation Day - All Day
• July 6, 2026 - August 14, 2026 - 6 weeks
