District meetings
What to know about on-site interpreters for a school district
When districts book in person
A district runs meetings in many places. Families register at an enrollment or welcome center, special education staff meet parents at the district office or at the student's school, and the board meets in a boardroom. The interpreter comes to the address on the booking, and at a meeting about one child they sit with the parent. A language access coordinator can book every one of these from one dashboard.
Who takes part
The people in the room depend on the meeting. At an enrollment center, staff go through the registration forms with the parent. In a special education meeting, the special education teacher, a district representative and the evaluator sit with the parent. At a discipline hearing, a hearing officer runs the session. The parent or guardian takes part in each one and answers the questions put to them, and the interpreter sits next to the parent.

District staffInterpreterParent
The interpreter's role
The interpreter's job is to let the parent follow the meeting as closely as the English speakers in the room do. The parent hears all of what the staff say and the staff hear all of what the parent says, without summaries. The interpreter does not advise the family or explain district policy, and keeps everything they hear confidential.

Several schools, several bookings
Each booking has one address and one language. A day of meetings at two schools in two languages is four bookings, and all of them stay in one dashboard. Add the room, the check-in steps and the parking to each booking, so the interpreter reaches the right door of the right building. Inside each meeting, staff pause after every few sentences, and the parent replies once that part has been interpreted.
On-site, video or phone
Choosing between on-site, video and phone for district work
A district can mix settings from one dashboard, one booking at a time.
On-site
An interpreter at the address suits enrollment centers, evaluation sessions and hearings, where families come in and the meeting runs in person.
Video (VRI)
Video fits meetings where district staff, the school team and the parent are in different buildings.
Video-Remote Interpretation for School Districts
Phone (OPI)
Phone fits scheduling calls and short follow-ups with families, when nothing needs to be shown.

Questions from school districts about on-site interpreters
The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.
Can't find it here?
01Can the interpreter go with staff from one site to the next?
No. The interpreter reports to one address and interprets there. If staff move on to another building, book that building separately.
02What if a hearing or an evaluation is rescheduled?
Cancellation is in writing. Cancel more than seven days before and you get a full refund, between seven days and 48 hours before you get 75% back, and in the last 48 hours there is no refund.
03How are long days of meetings priced?
Each booking is priced for its own hours, and the total shows before you pay. Count the whole block of a conference day or a hearing, because the interpreter is reserved for it and unused time is not refunded.
04How far ahead should we book?
At least 48 to 72 hours ahead, and earlier if you can.
05Which languages can a district book in person?
70 languages. Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, Vietnamese and Haitian Creole schedule most easily. For rare languages, such as Burmese or Pashto, book as soon as the date is set.
06Are your Portuguese interpreters certified?
Yes. Court-certified and medically credentialed Portuguese interpreters are assigned to legal and clinical matters — Federal Court Interpreter Certification, state court rosters, CCHI / NBCMI for medical. For community, educational and corporate settings we assign professionally trained interpreters matched to the subject.
07Do you cover all Portuguese dialects?
Brazilian, European and PALOP Portuguese differ in pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and legal terminology. We confirm the target variety at intake and match the translator or interpreter accordingly.
