Open Agenda
Approve the agreement between The School Board of Broward County, Florida and Carlton Palms Educational Center Inc.
S.S. is an elementary school student with Emotional/Behavioral Disability, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Language Impaired, and receives Occupational Therapy. The student is a client of the Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD). APD has independently agreed to place this student in a residential facility (Carlton Palms). The District has determined that this student does not need residential placement for educational purposes. Rather, the District has developed an IEP that provides an appropriate program at one of the center schools.
While the student's IEP reflects that a residential placement is not required in order for the student to benefit from special education that can otherwise be provided by the District through the day, 6A-6.0361 FAC Contractual Agreements with Non Public Schools allows the District to contract with a residential facility when another public agency has placed the student for non-educational purposes.
This contract outlines the agreement to provide for the costs associated with the provision of special education of the student at the residential facility where APD has recommended placement for non-educational reasons. The source of the funding for the education of the student is from the Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP). The agreement limits the District's financial responsibility to only those funds generated by the student for a twelve-month period to end on June 30, 2014.
This agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.
There is a financial impact total of $19,544. The source of funding is the student's allocation from Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP).
