Therefore, MESD may enter into contracts during the current school year with identified providers of the below-listed services:

• Speech and Language Pathologist
• Speech and Language Pathology Assistant
• School Psychologist
• Occupational Therapist
• Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant
• Physical Therapist
• Licensed Physical Therapy Assistant
• Behavior Consultant
• Special Education Teacher
• Qualified Mental Health Professional
• Mental Health Consultant
• Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)
• Registered Nurse (RN)
• Paraprofessional / Educational Assistant

 
Selection of individual providers of these services will be based on a reasonable, efficient process developed by the department requiring services from among agencies in MESD’s providers’ pool. Such contracts may be issued for one, two or three year time periods.
 
During the current school year, MESD may engage in one or more Requests-for-Proposals (RFP) processes to ensure an adequate number of providers in its pool. MESD hereby requests information from any and all providers who offer similar and competing services and who may be interested in responding to MESD when such proposals are being requested.
