Status:
Approve the Continuation of the Agreement for the provision of educational services to students who are patients hospitalized for short, intermittent or long term care by the following provider: Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital Memorial Health Care Systems/South Broward Hospital District. The term of this agreement shall commence on July 1, 2014 and conclude on June 30, 2015.
Joe DiMaggio's Children?s Hospital serves Broward County Public School students who have chronic medical conditions that require specialized treatments intermittently throughout the school year or for extended periods of time.

The hospital provides the hardware and internet connections as well as a fully equipped instructional classroom.
The 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. The program will be supported by funds generated by Exceptional Student Education FTE.
