Approve the Additional Recommendation - 53-080V - Professional Development Services for Non-Public Schools
The Office of Talent Development's Teacher Development Department is the Florida Department of Education contact for the Title II, Part A grant. Title II, Part A - Teacher and Principal Training and Recruiting Funds is an entitlement grant. The overall purpose of the Title II, Part A grant is to increase student achievement through strategies such as improving teacher and principal quality and increasing the number of highly qualified and/or infield and effective teachers in the classroom and highly effective principals and assistant principals in schools. Non-public schools have equal access to Title II, Part A funds, just as traditional and charter public schools.
The Archdiocese of Miami (Broward County Catholic Schools only) has elected and intends to use a third party provider (A+ Educators) of professional development services for the professional learning provided to their teachers and administrators based on their needs assessment.
Bid 53-080V for Professional Development Services for Non-Public Schools was previously approved on February 20, 2013, with a spending authority of $400,000. These funds were expensed against the Archdiocese of Miami's allocation for the school year 2012/2013 and a portion of the school year 2013/2014 allocation. It is recommended that the School Board authorize the amount of $300,000 to the subject contract, providing only what is allocated to the Archdiocese of Miami's Broward County Catholic Schools through the current fiscal year. Notification to the Board of this amount does not mean that the amount shown will be spent.
The term of A+ Educator's original contract with Miami-Dade County Public Schools was through July 17, 2013, and the contract was renewed from July 18, 2013, through July 17, 2014. This recommendation will allow the Office of Talent Development to continue purchasing professional development services for non-public schools in compliance with Title II, Part A regulations relating to the equitable services to non-public schools.
There is no new financial impact to the District. RFP 53-080V was approved on February 20, 2013, with a contract authority of $400,000. The current recommendation is to increase the contract authority to $700,000. The $300,000 requested is coming from Title II, Part A funds that are allocated to the non-public Schools.
