| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
| <p>Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) and YMCA have been partners in the Sulphur Springs community for over 12 years. Furthermore, the YMCA has served as a founding partner of the Sulphur Springs K-8 Community Partnership School and fiscal agent for the University of Central Florida’s (UCF) Center for Community School grant funding since its inception during the 2015/2016 school year.</p> <p>In order to provide optimal wellness services and to become certified as a Community Partnership School, YMCA will provide $36,000 in funding that will allow HCPS to upgrade the currently funded Registered Nurse (RN) unit at Sulphur Springs K-8 to a full-time, onsite Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN). The average salary with fringe cost of an RN is $63,150 while an average APRN salary with fringe is $74,886. </p> <p>The APRN will serve as the Community School Health and Wellness Coordinator in accordance with the Fundamental Practices required by the UCF Center for Community Schools. The Health and Wellness Coordinator will either directly provide and/or coordinate comprehensive wellness services – including medical, dental, vision, and behavioral health – with appropriate providers to ensure timely access and prevent substantial loss to instructional time for all students attending Sulphur Springs K-8. The Health and Wellness Coordinator will also participate in Community School planning and operation meetings to ensure that wellness supports are fully integrated into the school’s operations and systems of supports for students.</p> | |
