Title: AC12-Cooperative Agreement with SP Behavioral, LLC, DBA Sandy Pines

Recommendation:
I recommend that the School Board approve the confirming cooperative agreement with SP Behavioral, LLC., DBA Sandy Pines in the amount of $21,700 for the educational and residential costs of a student with disabilities from July 1, 2007 through August 31, 2007 or until appropriate discharge can be planned not to exceed August 31, 2007.  I authorize the Superintendent or designee to sign all documents related to this agreement.

Description:

An IEP team met on February 27, 2007 and confirmed that the student requires residential placement to address behavioral needs.  The Board approved this contract on March 21, 2007.

This contract is presented to the Board to continue placement in the recommended facility.

Prior to placement in the residential facility the student was attending an ESE Program at Limestone Creek Elementary School.  Aggressive behavior has escalated to the point that the student requires stabilization and diagnostic educational placement.   The IEP Team is in agreement that the student requires residential placement to get behaviors under control.  On May 11, 2007, the treatment team at the residential facility, which includes a district representative and the parent, convened to review the student's progress and determined that the student needed continued placement through July 30, 2007.

The student has been appropriately identified as a student with disabilities in the area of Emotionally Handicapped by the School District of Palm Beach County in compliance with state and local statutes and regulations.

The district will pay the costs for those days the student is physically present and in attendance at the residential facility.

The cooperative agreement is in compliance with State Board Rule 6A.6-0361, "Special Programs Contractual Agreements with Non-Public Schools."

Financial Impact:
The financial impact to the School District's general operating fund is $ 21,700.  The source of funds is the Exceptional Student Education Department budget.
