I recommend that the School Board approve the contract with the Highridge Family Center/Board of County Commissioners that authorizes the acceptance of funds from Highridge Family Center/Board of County Commissioners to provide additional funds to support the summer session/extended school year educational program at the Highridge Family Center from June 5, 2006, through July 28, 2006.
