EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The original three-year cost reimbursement Contract Renewal (October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2015) provides child care services for refugee families resettling in Hillsborough County.  Refugee clients are referred for service by local resettlement agencies under contract to the Department of Children and Families.  Amendment #0001 only amends invoice form requirements, therefore, does not affect funding amount.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
•Â Align financial resources to support the district’s strategic goals
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)
Total contract amount of $2,956,800 is disbursed equally over a three-year period.  Amendment #0001 only amends invoice form requirements, therefore, does not affect funding amount.  Total contract amount does not change.
EVALUATION
This contract and any amendments and/or renewals, made a part thereof, are audited by the Department of Children and Families, Florida Office of Refugee Services during the performance of said contract.  Funding for the Florida Office of Refugee Services is provided by federal dollars, which flow to the Early Childhood School Readiness Programs to purchase child care in Hillsborough County for refugee children.  There is no district-generated revenue used for this purchase.
