Title: AC23-Cooperative Agreement with Easter Seals Florida

Recommendation:
I recommend that the School Board approve continuation of the cooperative agreement with Easter Seals Florida in the estimated amount of $300,000.  The effective dates of this cooperative agreement are July 1, 2006, through June 30, 2007.

Description:

Prekindergarten exceptional students will receive services for 180 days, as well as an extended school year, according to their Individual Educational Plans (IEP's).

During the 2005-2006 school year 30 students with disabilities were provided services at this site.  These students earn FTE which covers the cost of this contract.

The District will ensure that students served through the agency's personnel have been placed according to the District's Special Programs and Procedures document.

District staff will make on-site quarterly visits to ensure meeting compliance of federal and state guidelines.  Student progress will be documented annually on the IEP.

This cooperative agreement is in compliance with the State Board Rule 6A.6-03026, "Special Programs for Prekindergarten Children with Disabilities."

Financial Impact:
The financial impact to the School District is estimated at $300,000.  These funds are currently allocated within the Exceptional Student Education Department budget.
