Status:
Approve the Agreement between The School Board of Broward County, Florida and Carlton Palms Educational Center Inc.
Florida Administrative Code 6A-6.0361 - Contractual Agreements with Non Public Schools allows Broward County Public School (District) to contract with a residential facility when another public agency has placed the student for non-educational purposes.
Carlton Palms is a residential facility that serves clients referred by agencies of the State of Florida, including but not limited to the Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD). APD independently agrees to place students at Carlton Palms for non-educational purposes. For District students, the District determines that these students do not need residential placement for educational purposes and develops an IEP that provides an appropriate program at one of the District's center schools.
This contract is a multi-student agreement that outlines the District's agreement to provide for the costs associated with the provision of special education for any District student residing at Carlton Palms when APD has recommended placement for non-educational reasons. The source of the funding for the education of any District student is from the Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP) and is based on the matrix level for each individual District student. The agreement limits the District's financial responsibility to only those funds generated by a District student during the twelve-month period to end on June 30, 2015.
This agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.
The source of funding is the student?s allocation from Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP). Specific dollar amount is based on the individual student?s matrix level at the time of placement at Carlton Palms. Specific matrix level funding amounts for FY2015 are not available until the end of the current legislative session.
