Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve Memorandum of Agreement between Berean Academy and Cochise County School Superintendent, also known as Cochise County Education Service Agency (CochisESA), to provide Special Education Services, at the rate detailed in Exhibit A, effective July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.
Background:
This Intergovernmental Agreement with CochiseESA, through the Cochise County Mental Health Consortium Project, will allow us to provide Exceptional Student Services in the form of Evaluation, Screening, Counseling, and Behavioral Intervention to school districts needing these services. We are able to offer the services at a lower rate than agencies outside of the county. It also allows schools to pay for services as they need them, especially when the schools may not have the funds to cover a full salary and benefits for each of those positions/roles.
The Cochise County Mental Health Consortium Project grant was approved by the Board on 10/11/22.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If not approved, Berean will have to seek these services elsewhere and at higher prices.
