Title: Recommendation: I recommend that the School Board approve the Agreement with the Palm Beach County School Early Learning Coalition, Inc., and a rate agreement with Family Central for subsidized child-care at selected elementary schools, effective July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008, and authorize the Superintendent or designee to sign all related documents and contracts. Description: The purpose of this Rate Agreement is to establish the method by which the School Age Child Care (SACC) Programs will receive payment for children who are eligible for financially-assisted subsidized child care. Family Central will monitor the SACC Programs, by conducting site visits, to insure compliance of the signed rate agreement at least once a year. Follow-up visits will be made as needed. The rate agreement provides for the following school-based fee reimbursement for the FY07/08 school year minus the parent fee which is determined by Family Central, Inc.: Records are maintained at Family Central and by the Department of After School Programming. Although backdating agreements is not our standard practice, it was necessary in this particular case due to extended legal negotiations between Family Central and the District's Legal Department which were not finalized until August 2, 2007. It does not prejudice the rights of the School Board. This item was originally scheduled for the June Board meeting. Financial Impact: The financial impact to the Special Revenue-Other Funds Budget is an increase of up to $1,500,000. These funds will be allocated to the Department of After-School Programming for the operation of the School Age Child Care (SACC) Programs. There is no financial impact to the Operating Budget.
