Status:
Approve agreement with The School Board of Putnam County, Florida, the fiscal agent for the North East Florida Education Consortium.
The 2006 Legislature authorized NEFEC through HB 5001-2006 General Appropriations Act, Item #124 to provide the Dropout Prevention/Credit Recovery Program. The legislation identifies Educational Options, Inc. as the approved provider of the web-based, competency based curriculum, NOVEL/STARS. The incentive to participate in the NEFEC Credit Recovery Program is that schools serving at-risk students are eligible to be reimbursed $200.00 of the $270.00 student license when the terms of the Agreement are met. Essential to the NEFEC program is that there be a formal agreement with The School Board of Broward County, Florida.
Three schools participated in 2006-07, McArthur High School, Miramar High School and Broward County Community School, South. Upon ratification of the Board item, NEFEC will process the reimbursement to the three schools.
Student outcome data will be provided to NEFEC per their protocols by June 15, 2007.
This agreement has been approved by the attorney.
The financial impact is $17,000. The source of the funding is the individual school budgets. There is no additional financial impact to the district.
