District video meetings
A district is spread over many buildings, so video brings the parent, the school team and the central office into one meeting. The coordinator books it once, adds one meeting link, and the interpreter joins as a guest from anywhere in the US. Video is also chosen when no interpreter for a family's language works near the school.
A coordinator or the special education department sets up the link. The parent or guardian joins with the school team, such as a teacher, the 504 coordinator or, for a results meeting, the evaluator. For enrollment, a staff member from the enrollment center takes their place. The interpreter joins as a guest.
The interpreter's job is to give the parent the same access to the meeting that the staff already have. Everything is interpreted in full, in both directions, and the interpreter does not shorten a question or leave out part of an answer. The interpreter keeps the meeting confidential, does not advise the family, and does not explain district rules or decisions in their own words.
At a board meeting
A board meeting or an information session for families has one language per interpreter. The speaker pauses after a few sentences so each part can be interpreted, which makes the meeting longer than it would be in English. Send the agenda and the speakers' names with the booking, so the interpreter has the terms and the names before the meeting.
On-site, video or phone
Video joins people from different buildings into one meeting. The cases below call for another setting.
Book an interpreter at the address for a welcome center, a testing session or a hearing, where the family comes in person.
On-Site Interpretation for School DistrictsVideo fits meetings with staff from several buildings, a plan shown on screen, or a family for whom no interpreter works nearby.
Phone fits quick scheduling calls and follow-ups with families who have no video.
