Title: CC4 Consultant Contract for Boys and Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County

Recommendation:
I recommend award of the consultant contracts with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County  for $131,705  effective July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008 and authorize the Superintendent and Board Chairman to sign all needed documents.

Description: CC 4 Consultant shall perform the following services: The consultant will implement the Florida Department of Education Computer Literacy Mentoring Program Grant.  Activities of the grant will be focused on improving proficiency in computer literacy and technology, and improved achievement in reading, writing and mathematics.
Although backdating board reports and contracts is not our standard practice, it was necessary in this particular case due to the Florida Department of Education (DOE) notifying the School District and the Boys and Girls Club of Palm Beach County about the grant application and funding level after July 1, 2007.  The grant application by the Boys and Girls Club of Palm Beach County is not due to DOE until September 14, 2007; however, the effective date will be July 1, 2007.  This action does not prejudice the rights of the School Board.
This grant is awarded annually to the Boys and Girls Club of Palm Beach County . Although the School District is the applicant, the funding is designated by the Florida Department of Education for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County only.
