Status:
Open Agenda
Approve the Agreements with The School Board of Broward County, Florida and Community Mental Health Providers.
The Agreements are renewed on an annual basis.
The agreements provide for the provision of required educational services to youth participating in residential treatment programs operated by Citrus Health Network, Inc. and Alternate Educational Systems, Inc. These Community Providers serve students in residential treatment programs that are not able to attend a school operated by The School Board of Broward County, Florida (SBBC) district. The educational curriculum is provided by the SBBC district and is integrated into the therapeutic services of the programs. Referrals to the programs come from Department of Children & Families, the courts, parents, medical facilities and physicians. Each provider uses the state definition of medical necessity as a guide to determine individual treatment, education plans and length of stay at each site.
The agreements have been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.
The financial impact is generated and funded through student Full Time Equivalents (FTE). There is no additional financial impact to the District beyond the FTE.
