BACKGROUND:
|
In 1999, Human Services Agency (HSA) collaborated with GECS by out posting a Psychiatric Social Worker to provide counseling for children and their families, who attended the school or lived in the area serviced by the school. This school has many economically deprived students and many students who speak English as a second language.
On January 29, 2003, HSA and GECS entered into a three-year Agreement for reimbursement to HSA for the services of a Psychiatric Social Worker posted at the school. Each fiscal year GECS reimburses HSA for one half of the salaries and benefits for the Psychiatric Social Worker.
On April 1, 2004, HSA and GECS amended the Agreement to add funds for FY 2003-04.

DISCUSSION:
|
This Second Amendment to the Revenue Agreement is for the reimbursement for Fiscal Year 2004-05 for the salaries and benefits of the Psychiatric Social Worker. GECS is committed to partnering with the parents and community services to provide quality education and to help their students achieve academic success.
