| SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS | |
| Approve Amendment #3 of the Contract #SDHC-SR1415 Between Hillsborough County School Readiness Coalition, Inc., (Coalition) D/B/A Early Learning Coalition of Hillsborough County (ELCHC) and The School Board of Hillsborough County, FL (Academic Support and Federal Programs Division) | |
| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
| This contract is for the provision of early childhood education and child care services (child care slots) for low-income families. The terms of this contract are in effect July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2015. The purpose of amendment #3 is to increase the contract payment for direct services by $1,300,000 to maintain the number of children served.
This amendment was approved by Tom Gonzalez on June 5, 2015. The ELCHC requires the School Board’s signature, as the subcontracted agency, to acknowledge acceptance of this contract prior to the final signature of ELCHC. |

| STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES | |
| FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted: Yes) | |
| The prior contract total of $40,533,520 is increased by $1,300,000. Current total funding amount is $41,833,520, minus the administration cost and earmarked funding for infant and toddler quality enhancement, child care resource and referral, and intake and eligibility services. This leaves $36,553,227 for direct child care services. At an annual average rate of $4,000 per child, these funds will serve approximately 9,138 children. | |
| EVALUATION | |
| Each year the financial statements are audited by the Coalition as prescribed by law. The funding for ELCHC is provided through federal dollars. The flow-through dollars are channeled by the Florida Office of Early Learning. The School Readiness Program uses these funds to purchase child care in Hillsborough County. There is no district-generated revenue used for this purchase. | |
