A unit of service is time spent serving a child on behalf of the school district. A unit of service can be face-to-face services with a child and/or time spent providing indirect service to a child. Indirect service could consist of writing reports, developing an IEP, consulting with staff, parents and/or other professionals.

 

Occupational Therapy fees are determined by the cost of instructor’s salaries and fringe benefits, supplies, materials, insurance, travel, and prorated shared costs for the overhead expenses associated with the CESA 3 facilities.

 

All contractual amounts for itinerant staff members submitted on the CESA 3 contract for services are for budget estimates only.  Actual units of service provided to member districts are unknown at the time that CESA 3 submits contracts to its member districts. These estimates, provided on the contract, are based upon the district’s previous January enrollment within the specific area of service and assumed there is no change in the child, the number of participating districts, and CESA’s overall program enrollment. Each year member districts will experience modifications, which may increase or decrease the level of services and/or expenditures associated within a specific program area. Actual contractual amounts will be adjusted quarterly with the final audit completed at the close of the school term.
