LOS ANGELES, November 15, 2010 — Accelify, LLC is pleased to announce that Orland Joint Unified School District (OJUSD) has signed on as a new client.  Accelify aims to maximize Medi-Cal reimbursements for OJUSD by managing the district’s Medi-Cal Administrative Activities (MAA) program.

“Accelify welcomes Orland Joint Unified School District as a client” said Alex Brecher, COO, Accelify. “Based on our track record of success in C alifornia, we believe that the district will benefit greatly from this partnership.”

Approximately 100 miles north of Sacramento in Glenn County, OJUSD is located in a largely agricultural region of the Sacramento River Valley. OJUSD serves 2,300 students in seven schools and offers an array of educational opportunities, including a full K-12 music program, an extensive vocational education program, advanced placement courses, and an award-winning agriculture program. OJUSD has maintained one of the lowest student-to-teacher ratios in the region and offers a unique program called Advancement via Individual Determination (AVID) for disadvantaged students who demonstrate high potential. OJUSD is under the leadership of Superintendent Chris von Kleist.
