Open Agenda
Approve the Continuation Agreement between The School Board of Broward County, Florida and The Children's Services Council of Broward County. The contract period is August 1, 2013 through July 31, 2014.
The School Board of Broward County, Florida (SBBC) and The Children?s Services Council of Broward County (CSC) are in the fifth year of their five-year partnership to operate a 21st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC) Program at Blanche Ely and Northeast High Schools. During the 2013-2014 school year students at Blanche Ely and Northeast High Schools will be provided afterschool enrichment and remediation learning activities that will compliment and enhance the school day with reading, English, language arts, mathematics and science curriculum. Engaging, non-traditional, project-based learning activities for personal enrichment will be implemented in the areas of: arts & music, health & wellness, fitness & sports, tutoring & mentoring.
A portion of the 21st CCLC funds will be used to hire an outside evaluator to conduct an ongoing formative evaluation. This data will be used by the school and CSC to ensure the program's compliance with its objectives.
CSC has agreed to continue providing services to our students. The agreement for 2013-2014 details the number of students served at each site and the days/operating hours of the program during the school year and in the summer. Due to the grant approval and service provider timeframes established by the Florida Department of Education and CSC, this agreement is being presented for Board approval subsequent to the start of the program year.
The Florida Department of Educations notified SBBC of the official awarding of the grant on September 26, 2013. Subsequent to notification of grant award, the agreement was developed and reviewed by legal counsel of both parties.
This agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.
The financial impact to the District is $195,454. The source of funds is the 21st. CCLC Grant.
