Title: AC9-Interagency Agreement with Board of County Commissioners for DFSC Head Start Concerning Student

Recommendation:
I recommend that the School Board accept the Interagency agreement Concerning Student Information as part of the Contract between the School Board of Palm Beach County, Florida and Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners for Delray Full Service Center Head Start effective September 21, 2006 through June 30, 2007 and authorize the Superintendent or designee to sign all documents and contracts related to the Agreement.

Description:

On September 20, 2006, the School Board approved the renewal of the Contract with the Board of County Commissioners ("the Agency") for Delray Full Service Center head Start.  This Interagency Agreement Concerning Student Information should have been presented with the contract at that time.  The term of the Agreement begins on September 21, 2006 and shall expire on June 30, 2007, and may be renewed annually.

This Agreement allows designated staff of the School Board to share student data with the Agency staff.  The Agency agrees to limit the access to student information to persons who have legitimate educational interests in the information contained in the records.  Data is shared for the following purposes:

1.  Evaluation:  To acquire data that will allow the Agency to access individual programs.
2.  Research:  To acquire data on specific Agency students and compare groups to analyze the impact of systems of care and groups of programs that serve the same children.
3.  Planning:  To acquire data from the School Board and the Agency to facilitate planning for children's education and human services.

A copy of the Agreement is attached.

Financial Impact:
There is no financial impact to the School District for the Agreement Concerning Student Information.
