June 14, 2010 Regular Meeting Agenda Item #15 Item Title C-15 Contract between the School Board of Clay County and Melissa Whitaker, Student Services Aide with Project R.E.A.C.H. pending approval of the Education for Homeless Children and Youth Program Grant Issue/Rationale The SBCC has been the recipient of the Title X Education for Homeless Children & Youth Programs Grant since 2002-2003.  As the district has grown in the number of schools and student population, so has the work load on the two School Social Workers that have coordinated the grant since its inception while continuing to carry their school assignments.  This grant funded Student Services Aide relieves the two certified social workers from district-wide clerical duties and will serve as a contact to schools on data collection of homeless children. Recommended Action Approve the contract between the School Board of Clay County and Melissa Whitaker, Student Services Aide with Project R.E.A.C.H. pending approval of the Education for Homeless Children and Youth Program Grant as submitted. Financial Impact None Submitted By Lyle Bandy, Director of Exceptional Student Education and Student Services Attachment:  Whitaker, M.pdf
