Agenda Item Text:

Approve Amendment 4 to IGA #HG861229, Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program, between the Arizona Department of Health Services and Cochise Health & Social Services, in the amount of $145,131 for the period of January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012.

Background:

The Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program will begin its fifth year on January 1, 2012. Work will continue with the Juvenile Probation System to deliver classes on healthy relationships to probationers and teens in detention. Expansion of the program into schools using an approved ADHS/ADE curriculum will be continued in the Douglas, Bisbee and Willcox School Districts. A Youth Health Coalition, funded by the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program and begun in collaboration with the state funded Tobacco Prevention program, will continue in Douglas, Bisbee and Willcox. An AmeriCorps volunteer has been added to the staffing plan at significant budget savings. The AmeriCorps volunteer will coordinate the activities of the Youth Health Coalition and will assist with other teen pregnancy prevention activities. Attempts will be made to expand curriculum services and Youth Health Coalition activities into the Sierra Vista community. No more than two Teen Mazes will be held throughout the year (per state guidance). Parent education classes will be offered on talking to youth about sensitive subjects.

This program is important as Arizona has the fourth highest rate of teen pregnancy in the country and the border communities of Douglas and Bisbee/Naco are four times the national average.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

Your approvals are respectfully requested.

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

Not approving this amendment will cause all activities falling under the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program grant to cease.

To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:

A fully executed original will be sent to the Clerk of the Board for filing purposes.
