Title: Agreement with the Prevention Partnerships for Children, Inc.

Description:

• On August 18, 2004, the School Board approved the Memorandum of Agreement with The Governor’s Council for Community Health Partnerships, Inc. (Governor’s Council) to fund a full-time level 18 specialist position to conduct statistical analysis and evaluations of district programs funded by Children Services Council (e.g., Summer Pre-K Programs, Beacon Centers, Behavior Health Programs, and After School Programs).
•  Effective December 31, 2004, Children Services Council is terminating all fiscal agent agreements with The Governor’s Council in an effort to shift contracts to their nonprofit agency, the Prevention Partnerships for Children, Inc. (PPC).
• The Memorandum of Agreement between the School Board and the Governor’s Council will terminate on December 31, 2004.  All terms therein will transfer intact to the Memorandum of Agreement with PPC effective January 1, 2005.
• The Memorandum of Agreement between the School Board and PPC replaces the previously approved Memorandum of Agreement.

The Memorandum of Agreement will be in effect from January 1, 2005, through September 30, 2005.  A copy of the Memorandum of Agreement is on file in the Board Minutes Office.

Recommendation:
I recommend that the School Board approve the Memorandum of Agreement with The Prevention Partnerships for Children, Inc. to fund a full-time position (Specialist in Evaluation and Test Development) at no cost to the School District. 

Financial Impact:
The financial impact to the FY2005 Special Revenue – Other Funds budget is an increase of $61,803.  The funds will be allocated to the Research, Evaluation, and Accountability Department budget.
