Title: AC1 Early Learning Coalition Rate Agreement Recommendation:
I recommend that the School Board approve the Memorandum of Agreement with the Palm Beach County School Early Learning Coalition, Inc., and a rate agreement with Family Central, Inc. for subsidized child-care at selected elementary schools, effective July 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005, and authorize the Superintendent or designee to sign all related documents and contracts.
Description: 4 The purpose of this Rate Agreement is to establish the method by which the School Age Child Care (SACC) Programs will receive payment for children who are eligible for financially-assisted subsidized child care.
4 Family Central will monitor the SACC Programs, by conducting site visits, to insure compliance of the signed rate agreement at least once a year. Follow-up visits will be made as needed.
4 The rate agreement provides for the following school-based fee reimbursement for the FY06 school year minus the parent fee which is determined by Family Central, Inc.:
o Before care only $ 4.79 per day (less parent fee)
o 2:00 – 6:00 p.m. $ 8.79 per day (less parent fee)
o 2:00 – 6:00 p.m. siblings $ 8.79 per day (less parent fee)
o 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. $ 4.79 per day (less parent fee)
o Before and after care $10.44 per day (less parent fee)
o Camp days $19.86 per day (less parent fee)
4 Records are maintained at Family Central and in the Department of After School Programming.
Financial Impact:
The financial impact to the Special Revenue-Other Funds budget is an increase of up to $3,000,000. These funds will be allocated to the Department of After-School Programming for the operation of the School Age Child Care Programs. There is no financial impact to the Operating Budget.
