Open Agenda
Approve the renewal Agreement between College Summit and The School Board of Broward County, Florida.
The School Board of Broward County, Florida is the recipient of a five-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE), entitled High School Graduation Initiative (HSGI). The Mentoring Tomorrow?s Leaders (MTL) project is being funded through this grant. The USDOE will provide in excess of $4.5 million over five years to re-engage students who have dropped out, reduce the dropout rate and improve the graduation rate in two targeted schools -- Boyd H. Anderson High and Plantation High School. The 2013-2014 school year will fall within year three of the five-year grant. A portion of the grant funds is being used to implement College Summit's dropout prevention and post-secondary education enrollment program. The intent of the initiative is to engage students in creating a college-going culture at the target schools, thereby increasing the high school graduation, college enrollment, and college persistence rates. College Summit is a researched-based program that employs proven methods, which have been recognized by the USDOE. The contract proposed period is August 1, 2013 - June 30, 2014.
This Agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.
The financial impact is $31,100. The source of the funds is the USDOE High School Graduation Initiative Grant Budget. There is no additional financial impact to the district.
