SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve the Annual Agreement of Understanding with the Community Based Training (CBT) Site for Students with Disabilities for the 2014/2015 School Year (Instructional Support Division)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We request approval of an Agreement of Understanding for a new business site for CBT. Winn Dixie Stores #2435, #2461, and #2505 will provide valuable training experiences for students with disabilities. During the 2014/2015 school year, under this one-year Agreement of Understanding, approximately three additional school sites will have the opportunity to participate in the CBT program. The addition of the Winn Dixie stores will allow the program to provide training opportunities for approximately 30 students.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Motivate students to become responsible learners
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)
The Annual Agreement of Understanding has no financial impact. The estimated cost for transporting students to and from the business sites is approximately $27,000 and is included in the divisional special revenue/federal programs budget under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
EVALUATION
Businesses involved will be given quarterly evaluations for completion, with the final evaluation to be conducted no later than May 28, 2015.
