Description: This is the annual contract agreement with the Palm Beach Marine Institute (PBMI). This Juvenile Justice Day Treatment Program will serve up to 90 male or female youths who are under probation supervision or community control from adjudication with the department of Juvenile Justice.

The School District will provide free and reduced lunch for eligible students, textbooks and technical assistance. The PBMI will be reimbursed 94% of the earned FTE for up to a maximum of ninety (90) students for provision of the instructional program and transportation.
