Status:
Approve the new Agreement between Walgreen Co. and The School Board of Broward County, Florida. The contract period is April 1, 2014 through March 31, 2017.
Currently there are 1,445 Career and Technical Education high school and adult postsecondary students district-wide enrolled in Health Science Education Programs. These students participate in clinical learning experiences through contractual agreements with hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare related facilities. The new Walgreens Experiential Learning Program Agreement provides clinical experiences necessary to meet the Florida Department of Education mandated student performance standards. This agreement also addresses the requirements of regulatory agencies for students to qualify for certification/licensure examinations upon program completion.
Health Science students had utilized Walgreens through informal arrangements as a component of their clinical experiences. In an effort to meet the growing demand of clinical experiences to address state requirements; this formal agreement is being brought forward. In accordance with a School Board request, staff in the Career, Technical, Adult and Community Education Department developed a survey to measure the effectiveness of the clinical experience. When this agreement has been fully executed by Walgreen Co. and the School Board, clinical experiences will be scheduled. The survey will be completed by students, Health Science teachers, and selected staff of the facility after the completion of the clinical experience.
This agreement will be executed after School Board approval.
This continuation agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.
There is no financial impact to the District.
