Translation/Qualified Interpreter Services

• Qualified interpreters are available at IEP team meetings upon request from parents/guardians whose native language is other than English. If a qualified interpreter is not available, the District may use outside vendors, including telephonic interpreters. 

• Parents/guardians, including those who are deaf or hard of hearing, may request an interpreter for IEP team meetings by contacting Rosanna Korycanek at rkorycanek@d118.org or (847) 526-7950 ext. 9208. Whenever possible, interpreter requests should be made at least three days prior to the scheduled meeting.
   

• Parents/guardians have the right to request that the bilingual  interpreter provided at an IEP meeting by the District serve no other role in the IEP meeting than as an interpreter, and the  District will make reasonable efforts to fulfill this request
