This will allow her to diagnose, create treatment plans and provide psychotherapy services to students in school. She will in turn provide free supervision in district.

21st Century currently pays staff $24/hour to teach summer school. However, most Districts pay staff their daily rate from the Board approved Salary Schedule.

Board members requested a salary comparison with other districts.
