EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
PACE Center for Girls provides a 230-day non-residential Dropout Prevention Program for 50 at-risk girls, many of whom have been adjudicated delinquent by the courts and are under the supervision of the Department of Juvenile Justice. PACE provides the facility and all of the personnel for the educational program, with support and oversight by the school district's Youth Services Program. The school district is required to pay private providers like PACE 90% of all FTE revenue earned and provide access to all applicable categorical funds. Additional funds have been provided through Specific Appropriation 86 for a supplemental allocation for Juvenile Justice Education Programs. | |

The cost of the contract is $316,784.40. 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 a district bilingual paraprofessional who serves this site. This item is included in the Part 1 Budget for 2013/2014. | |
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). | |
