Status:
Approve proposed cooperative agreements and calendars between the School Board of Broward County and four community agencies/private providers.
For the past thirteen years, in response to the lack of space due to district overcrowding, a concerted effort has been made, to seek quality alternatives to school-based programs through agreements with private providers, community agencies and institutions of higher learning. A Request for Information (RFI) is released annually through the Purchasing Department. As funding has allowed, District contracts with all providers who meet facility requirements and have, when necessary, made the required renovations. Two hundred forty Prekindergarten Early Intervention students are served by: Family Central, Inc., North Lauderdale Educational Centers, Inc., The Ralph J. Baudhuin Oral School of Nova Southeastern University, and Riverwood Enterprises, Inc. Students are enrolled in the Prekindergarten Early Intervention program if they are four by September first and meet income criteria as defined by State Board of Education Rules. Prekindergarten Early Intervention students attend a minimum of six hours and a maximum of ten hours for those in need of extended care. All agencies provide a minimum of 180 days of instruction. All instructional programs emphasize critical content with a focus on emerging literacy, social skill acquisition and independent living skills.
