Agenda Item #10 Title APPROVAL OF THE CONTRACT BETWEEN CHILDREN'S THERAPY WORKS AND THE SCHOOL BOARD OF SARASOTA COUNTY, FLORIDA Description The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act IDEA (2004) requires school districts to set aside a proportional share of their Federal IDEA funds to provide services to students with disabilities enrolled in private schools by their parent including McKay Scholarship students. The services most requested by private schools are speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy. Since the district does not have direct hire staff available to provide these services, contract with private vendors like Children's Therapy Works are being implemented to meet this requirement. The total contract amount not to exceed $85,000.00. Recommendation That the contract between Children's Therapy Works and the School Board of Sarasota County, Florida be approved as presented.
