Title
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SCHOOL BOARD OF SARASOTA COUNTY, FLORIDA, AND CHILDREN'S THERAPY WORKS FOR OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY, PHYSICAL THERAPY, AND SPEECH THEAPY FOR ELIGIBLE PRIVATE SCHOOL STUDENTS AT DREAMS ARE FREE AT BISHOP NEVINS ACADEMY
Description
One of the new requirements of IDEA 2004 is that school districts expend a proportional share of Federal IDEA funds to provide services for eligible students with disabilities at private schools. It is necessary to contract for these services due to the shortage of direct hire district staff in these critical need areas. Children's Therapy Works is a well regarded and reputable service provider in the community and has agreed to contract with the district for these services.
Recommendation
That the agreement between the School Board of Sarasota County, Florida, and Children's Therapy Works for Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Speech Therapy for eligible private school students at Dreams Are Free at Bishop Nevins Academy be approved as presented.
