E-1. Recommendation on the Ms. Willie Ann Glenn Act, Florida House Bill #227 (Summer Nutrition Program)
Renew disapproval of participation in the Ms. Willie Ann Glenn Act for the Summer of 2013. Vote to be exempt from the Summer Feeding Program per Chapter 2005-73, Section 1, (3). Notify the Commissioner of Education within 10 days of the decision not to participate and be exempt. Notify the Commissioner of Education within 10 days of each subsequent year's decision to continue the exemption. The request for approval from the Board not to participate in the Ms. Willie Ann Glenn Act is a standard item presented annually since 2006. Chapter 2005-73, General Laws, further explains that House Bill 227 is, "An act relating to children's summer nutrition programs; providing a popular name; requiring each district school board to develop a plan to sponsor a summer nutrition program; providing criteria for operating summer nutrition program sites; authorizing exemption from sponsoring a summer nutrition program and providing procedures thereafter; requiring a district school board to annually reconsider its decision to be exempt; authorizing district school boards to encourage not-for-profit entities to sponsor a summer nutrition program under certain circumstances; authorizing a superintendent of schools to collaborate with specified agencies and private, not-for-profit leaders to implement a summer nutrition program; providing reporting; directing the Department of Agriculture to provide each district school board with a list of organizations intending to participate; providing an effective date." Participation in the Ms. Willie Ann Glenn Act by Broward County Public Schools is not necessary to ensure adequate Summer Feeding sites within the District since additional resources are not available; the District already has a Summer Feeding Program, and approximately 45 - 55 schools with 50% or more students eligible for free/reduced meals will open for the Summer of 2013. The final number depends upon the number of schools hosting summer school, Voluntary Pre-K, and summer programs not related to District activities that use the schools in the summer. Providers and vendors will be identified after the Department of Agriculture Summer Feeding training. The District initially notified the Commissioner of Education in 2006, and each year thereafter, of its decision not to participate, and is required to do so on an annual basis. There is no financial impact to the district for not participating in the Ms. Willie Ann Glenn Act. |

EE-3. Parking Lease Agreement between The School Board of Broward County, Florida, (SBBC) and the State of Florida Department of Children and Family Services for Parking within the Kathleen C. Wright Administration Center Parking Garage (POSTPONED - 02/20/13 RSBM)
REVISED (MEMO ONLY) MEMO TO VOTE DOWN Approve the Parking Lease Agreement between The School Board of Broward County, Florida, and the State of Florida Department of Children and Family Services for parking within the Kathleen C. Wright Administrative Complex Parking Garage. The Portfolio Management and Services Department (PM&S) previously submitted this Parking Lease Agreement, Board Item LL-3 for approval by the School Board. Subsequently, the Board approved the Item at the December 18, 2012, Board Meeting. However, the Department of Children and Family Services (DCF) has not taken action on the Board approved agreement and is now requesting additional changes to the Agreement to ensure that its insurance requirements contained in the approved Agreement are not in conflict with the DCF insurance requirements. Insurance requirements satisfactory to both parties have been incorporated into this revised Parking Lease Agreement. Also, in lieu of the initial seven (7) requested parking spaces cited in Board Item LL-3, DCF changed its request and is now requesting only five (5) parking spaces. DCF desires to lease five (5) parking spaces within the Kathleen C. Wright Administration Center parking garage. The DCF needs the parking spaces to address Broward County's commencement of the construction project for the Broward County Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale that will displace the DCF's current use of the parking facilities until the project is completed. DCF shall pay the SBBC for the five (5) parking spaces a sum of One Hundred and Thirty Five Dollars ($135) per parking space per month during the term of this Agreement. DCF would like to lease the five (5) parking spaces from the SBBC from February 21, 2013, through February 20, 2016, with an option to renew at a rate of 3% annual increase per year for two (2) additional one-year periods under same terms and conditions. This Agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel. The positive financial impact to the district is a gain of $24,300 for the term of this lease. |
