FROM: MaryEllen Elia, Superintendent
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve Contract With AMIkids Tampa (Formerly Tampa Marine Institute)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
AMIkids Tampa provides a 230-day non-residential DJJ/Dropout Prevention Program for 60 students who are assigned through the change of placement process or recommendation through court placement.  AMIkids Tampa provides the facility and the personnel for the educational program with support and oversight by the school district's Youth Services Program.  The school district contracts with providers like AMIkids Tampa to serve these students through an FTE-generated formula and provide 90% of all FTE revenue earned, as well as furnish access to all applicable categorical funds. 

We request that approval of this document be retroactive to July 1, 2012.  The Department of Juvenile Justice changed the day treatment program design and the service provision options available to AMIkids Tampa (changes not fully defined until mid June 2012).  This action required AMIkids Tampa to redesign their delivery model, which prevented the presentation of this agenda item for Board consideration in June. 

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
All Strategic Objectives
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)
The cost of this contract is $359,019.64.  This amount is calculated using the projected FTE-generated revenue, plus the applicable categorical funds, minus the 10% administrative cost allowed by the Florida Law (HB 1989), and a percentage of the cost of direct instructional services provided by Youth Services department staff.  This item is included in the Part 1 Budget for 2012/2013.
EVALUATION
Each Juvenile Justice Education Program is evaluated annually by Youth Services department staff based on a model developed by the Juvenile Justice Educational Enhancement Program (JJEEP).
