Open Agenda
Approve the Agreement between Broward County Behavioral Health Services and The School Board of Broward County, Florida.
On August 27, 2013, the Broward County Board of County Commissioners approved funding recommendations made by the Broward County Community Partnerships Division (BCCPD) for The School Board of Broward County, Florida Family Counseling Program (FCP) to receive a grant in the amount of $1,043,940 with a two-year renewal option. As a stipulation, The School Board of Broward County, Florida must match the grant. The School Board of Broward County, Florida is providing $1,355,787 to meet this requirement. A combination of funds from BCCPD and the District supports the Family Counseling Program. The District provides approximately 56.5% of the funding. The FCP has been receiving these grant dollars since 1988. The FCP currently operates 26 centers connected to the District?s Innovation Zones.
The FCP was awarded a new grant, effective October 1, 2012 in the amount of $1,043,940 with a two-year renewal option. Due to issues associated with the creation of the new contract and other associated county documents, the current Broward County contract contains one renewal period for Fiscal Year 15 as a result of the one-year extension the county provided for Fiscal Year 12. This extension came as a result of delays in the preparation of the current contract. The contract for FY14 is effective October 1, 2013. The delay in presenting this contract to the School Board is also a result of time necessary for county contract preparation, however is retroactive to October 1, 2013. School Board Members were made aware of this issue in October of 2013. Exhibit 2 is the letter from the county addressing funding approval and assurance of retroactive payment.
This amended 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.
The financial impact for the 2013-14 school year is $1,043,940 from the BCCPD. The District provides a cash match of $1,355,787, reserved in the District's budget to fund approved positions, based on proposed salary increases per the BTU Bargaining Unit.
