| <p>The purpose of this contract is to establish an agreement between Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) and ELCHC, a statutorily created entity, designated with the responsibility of administration and implementation of a local comprehensive program of School Readiness (SR) Program services and local administration of the SR Program.</p> <p>The purpose of this contract is to enter into an agreement with ELCHC for the provision of SR services that occur after initial child screening and assessment.

Three positions will be hired to perform these evaluation services on an expedited timeline, leading to early identification and services, and will be assigned to the Child Find team. </p> <p>The terms of this contract are in effect July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021. This is a contract for evaluation services for SR children through ELCHC.</p> <p>The ELCHC requires the Board's signature, as the subcontracted agency, to acknowledge acceptance of this contract prior to ELCHC's final signature.</p> | |
