Approve Renewal of Agency Agreement for Provision of Educational Program for Hospital/Homebound Exceptional Student Education, 2014-2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We request approval to partner with Shriners Hospitals to provide Hospital/Homebound services to eligible students with disabilities at the agency site.  This cooperative agreement allows district personnel to provide necessary educational services at the facility with no cost to the district.  The renewal agreement is effective October 29, 2014 through June 30, 2017.  Approximately 20 students will be served at this site.

It is the practice of Shriners Hospitals to sign negotiated contracts after School Board approval.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Increase promotion rates at all grade levels and the percentage of high school graduates
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  No)
All students receiving services are eligible for Exceptional Student Education and/or Hospital/Homebound services and generate state FTE funding.
