Title: Recommendation: Description: These students have been residentially placed by the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF). The district pays only educational costs. DCF places students in residential facilities when they determine the students' behaviors at home and in the community are so severe as to render the students, their families, and the community at risk. Due to the severity of these student's needs, the IEP team agreed that they could be educated in the facility chosen by DCF. These students continue to require extensive educational and therapeutic services. Prior to entering the residential facility the students had been attending an ESE Program in the Palm Beach County school district. Each student has been appropriately identified as a student with disabilities by the School District of Palm Beach County in compliance with state and local policies and regulations. The district will pay the costs for those days the students are physically present and in attendance at the residential facility. The individual cost for educational services is $21,344. The total cost to the school District is $149,408. The total estimated FTE to be earned by these students during the FY08 school year will be $149,408. The students will remain in the facility until such time that a DCF team, with school district participation, determines that the students are stabilized to the point where they are no longer a danger to themselves or others. The cooperative agreement is in compliance with State Board Rule 6A.6-0361, "Special Programs Contractual Agreements with Non-Public Schools."
