Title: AC5-Memorandum of Understanding between the School District of Palm Beach County and North East Flor

Recommendation:
I recommend that the Superintendent and Board Chairman sign a Memorandum of Understanding between the School District of Palm Beach County and North East Florida Educational Consortium.

Description:

In August 2006 our district paid $145,500.00 for a one year subscription of Educational Options, an online credit recovery program.

•  Educational Options is used for students in grades 9-12 to make up a failed course during the year or in summer school to enable the student to graduate high school

•  The North East Florida Educational Consortium entered into an agreement with the State of Florida to reimburse school districts for part of their expense for online credit recovery programs such as Educational Options.

•  Our district is eligible for a reimbursement of $120,720.00.  Once the district is reimbursed the actual cost to the district of this year's program will be $24,780.00.

Financial Impact:
The financial impact to the FY2007 general fund budget is $24,780.00.  The source of funds is the Supplemental Educational Services budget.
