SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve the Memorandum of Understanding Between The School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida, Out of School Time Program (HOST) and Seniors in Service of Tampa Bay, Inc. (Academic Support and Federal Programs Division)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding is to establish an agreement between HOST and Seniors in Service, Foster Grandparent Services, and Retired Seniors Volunteer Program, concerning their respective roles and responsibilities for the successful implementation and operation of the program.  HOST has partnered with the Seniors in Service Program since the early 1990’s.  This collaboration continues to be a rewarding and successful program that provides the opportunity for the elderly community to remain independent, while volunteering with the students in the after-school setting at Bing, Clair-Mel, Graham, Lomax, Mango, Mintz, Palm River, Riverview, and B.T. Washington Elementary Schools.  This program is in effect September 10, 2014, through August 11, 2015.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Promote a culture of safety, which is free from harassment, bullying, and aggression
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)
The Seniors in Service of Tampa Bay Inc. will invoice the HOST program monthly, based on the number of volunteers at the rate of $3.15 per hour, per volunteer at 9 elementary schools.
EVALUATION
Annual evaluations will be conducted by the HOST Administrative Team.
