What this document actually says
This is a master contract between Reed Union School District and Seneca Family of Agencies for the 2025-26 school year to provide special education and related services to students with exceptional needs. The contract covers nonpublic school/agency services and establishes terms for how the district can purchase specialized educational services when students require programs beyond what the district offers. It details requirements for staff qualifications, student services, health and safety protocols, billing procedures, and compliance with state and federal special education laws. The contract is part of the Bay Area Collaborative, representing 14 SELPAs and member nonpublic schools/agencies. Rates are negotiated annually and remain fixed from July 1 through June 30.
What this means for your family
This contract allows the district to access specialized education services for students whose IEPs require programs the district cannot provide internally. If your child needs placement at a nonpublic school or services from a specialized agency, this contract ensures those services meet state standards for qualified staff, safety, and educational programming. Services are only provided when approved through your child's IEP team.
