Title: AC9-Cooperative Agreement with the Rehabilitation Center for Children and Adults, Inc. Recommendation:
I recommend that the School Board approve continuation of the cooperative agreement with the Rehabilitation Center for Children and Adults, Inc., in the estimated amount of $100,000, and authorize the Superintendent to sign all related documents. The effective dates of this cooperative agreement are July 1, 2007, through June 30, 2008.
Description: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 requires the School District to provide special education services to eligible children ages 3 through 5. These services are provided through Cooperative Agreement with prekindergarten programs in the community.
Prekindergarten exceptional students will receive services for 180 days, as well as an extended school year, according to their Individual Educational Plans (IEP's).
During the 2006-2007 school year 15 students with disabilities were provided services at this site.
Children placed in the program will generate Full Time Equivalency (FTE) funding.
The District will ensure that students served through the agency's personnel have been placed according to the District's Policies and Procedures for the Provision of Specially Designed Instruction and Related Services for Exceptional Students document.
District staff will make on-site quarterly visits to ensure meeting compliance of federal and state guidelines. Student progress will be documented annually on the IEP.
