Approve the Full and Basic School Health Services Funding Agreement for 2013-2014
Each year, the legislature provides School Health Service Funds to the Florida Department of Health-Broward County (FDOH-Broward) which then funds services for Broward County schools and students. One allocation is for Basic School Health Services to all students in public and participating non-public schools in Broward County. The other allocation is for Full Service Schools which include Basic School Health Services and additional specialized services that integrate education, medical, social, and/or human services to meet the needs of the high risk student population and their families on school district property as required by 402.3026, Florida Statutes. These services are provided in accordance with the statutorily required School Health Services Plan (Section 381.0056{3}{e}, Florida Statutes).
The FDOH-Broward has contracted Full Service and Basic Health School Funds to Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) since 2000. The proposed contract funding, Full Service ($460,174.76), Basic School Health Services ($775,416.13), and Florida DOH-Broward General Revenue funds ($69,858.97).
The contract to BCPS for 2013-2014 is $1,305,449.86. The amount of $1,305,449.86 shall be paid in monthly amounts of $108,787.48 not to exceed $1,305,449.86 for a 12-month period for the duration of the contract, subject to the availability of funds.

The Full Service, Basic School Health Services and General Revenue allocation through the Florida Department of Health-Broward will fund the following:
1.0 FTE, Clinical Nursing Supervisor/Program Manager
1.0 FTE Clinical Nurse
1.0 FTE Registered Nurse at Blanche Ely High School
0.75 FTE funding towards a Family Counselor at Lauderhill Middle School
35 agency health support technicians under the supervision of 7 agency Registered Nurses
1 agency Licensed Practical Nurse at Lauderhill Middle School
1 agency Licensed Practical Nurse at Hallandale Adult
Scoliosis screeners.
Attachment II of the agreement reflects the schools that will receive Basic School Health Services through this staffing model. These schools were selected based on the Indicators of Needs Study recently conducted by the Student Assessment and Research Department. Schools were ranked based on the severity index for health and social needs. With this data schools were selected based on the highest index.
On-Call Services will be provided by Registered Nurses for all schools without on-site health service personnel. The FDOH-Broward will continue to provide on-site health services to five comprehensive schools and provide Registered Nurses to support all schools that do not have health service personnel on-site.
Basic School Health Services will continue to be provided by current funding partners to 80 schools with an on-site Health Support Technician with Registered Nurse supervision. The Childrens' Services Council (CSC) will allocate funding of approximately 1.1 million to provide direct on-site health care personnel to 40 of these schools.
This Agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.
This Agreement will be executed after School Board approval.
There is a positive financial impact to the District of $1,305,449.86 for 2013-2014. The source of funding is the Full and Basic School Health Services and General Revenue funds from the FDOH-Broward through funding from the State.
There is no additional financial impact to the district.
