SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve the Memorandum of Understanding Between The School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida (SBHC) and Tampa Metropolitan Area YMCA Success After School for the Implementation and Operation of Before School and After School Programs (YMCA) (Student Services and Federal Programs Division)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The SBHC and YMCA have partnered to provide school-age care since 1981.  For 32 years, the strength of this collaboration has ensured quality care for students and families in our community.  The purpose of this memorandum of understanding is to establish an agreement between SBHC and YMCA concerning their respective roles and responsibilities.  This memorandum of understanding is in effect July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2014.  Due to summer planning, the SBHC and the YMCA concluded this agreement on June 26, 2013, which results in requesting Board approval after-the-fact.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Align financial resources to support the district’s strategic goals
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)
The amount of $332,323 will be the amount of the facility usage for the period mentioned, July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2014, to compensate the Tampa Metropolitan Area YMCA by SBHC Budget Department for programs located at 28 elementary sites.  These dollars will be used to compensate for the cost of electricity and custodial supplies.
EVALUATION
Bi-annual principal and parent surveys will be conducted by SBHC and the YMCA and results shared with SBHC and the YMCA.  Parent and Student Satisfaction Surveys will be among the tools used for evaluation.  Surveys will employ a Liket scale, which asks respondents to specify their level of agreement to a statement.
