E-1. Recommendation on the Ms. Willie Ann Glenn Act, Florida House Bill #227 (Summer Nutrition Program)
Renew disapproval of participation in the Ms. Willie Ann Glenn Act for the Summer of 2014. Vote to be exempt from the Summer Feeding Program per Chapter 2005-73, Section 1, (3). Notify the Commissioner of Education within 10 days of the decision not to participate and be exempt. Notify the Commissioner of Education within 10 days of each subsequent year's decision to continue the exemption. The request for approval from the Board not to participate in the Ms. Willie Ann Glenn Act is a standard item presented annually since 2006. Chapter 2005-73, General Laws, further explains that House Bill 227 is, "An act relating to children's summer nutrition programs; providing a popular name; requiring each district school board to develop a plan to sponsor a summer nutrition program; providing criteria for operating summer nutrition program sites; authorizing exemption from sponsoring a summer nutrition program and providing procedures thereafter; requiring a district school board to annually reconsider its decision to be exempt; authorizing district school boards to encourage not-for-profit entities to sponsor a summer nutrition program under certain circumstances; authorizing a superintendent of schools to collaborate with specified agencies and private, not-for-profit leaders to implement a summer nutrition program; providing reporting; directing the Department of Agriculture to provide each district school board with a list of organizations intending to participate; providing an effective date." Participation in the Ms. Willie Ann Glenn Act by Broward County Public Schools is not necessary to ensure adequate Summer Feeding sites within the District since additional resources are not available; the District already has a Summer Feeding Program, and approximately 45 - 55 schools with 50% or more students eligible for free/reduced meals will open for the Summer of 2014. The final number depends upon the number of schools hosting summer school, Voluntary Pre-K, and summer programs not related to District activities that use the schools in the summer. Providers and vendors will be identified after the Department of Agriculture Summer Feeding training. The District initially notified the Commissioner of Education in 2006, and each year thereafter, of its decision not to participate, and is required to do so on an annual basis. There is no financial impact to the District for not participating in the Ms. Willie Ann Glenn Act. |

CC-2. Revisions to School Board Policy 2314, Leases - Rental and Contracts of Real Property and Facilities Leased by the School Board
Adopt the revisions to School Board Policy 2314, Leases - Rental and Contracts of Real Property and Facilities Leased by the School Board at this final reading. School Board Policy 2314 governs the long term lease of real property by the School Board. The proposed changes to the Policy are primarily meant to clarify certain provisions in the Policy, ensure that all lease agreements are processed for School Board consideration and formal approval by the Facility Planning & Real Estate Department, ensure that due diligent processes are followed for new leases and renewal of existing leases, stipulate minimum timeframes that new leases and lease renewals must be scheduled for School Board consideration and formal approval, and authorize school principals and facility directors to enter into short term rental agreements of no more than three (3) days in duration for the use of outside facilities without formal School Board approval. These revisions were discussed at the January 8, 2013 School Board Workshop, the February 21, 2013 Public Rule Development Meeting, the June 18, 2013 School Board Workshop, and was approved at first reading at the December 17, 2013 Regular School Board Meeting (RSBM), and for final reading at the January 22, 2014 RSBM. However at the January 22, 2014 RSBM, the School Board added the word "simultaneously" to Rule 8, Page 3 of the Policy. As a result, the General Counsel advised that the Policy has to be rescheduled for another School Board final reading; hence the scheduling of the item for this meeting. This revised Policy 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 School District; therefore, this item does not require a Collaboration Form from the Capital Budget Department. |
