IV. Executive Committee Report:

a) Carry Forward Budget for FY 10/11: Judge Dishowitz requested discussion on the issue of the Budget Carry Forward relating to unspent salary dollars and proposed performance pay and expressed concern for approving any additional money not originally included in the previously-approved FY 10/11 budget. He emphasized that if there was any additional money, it should be saved for the next fiscal year to alleviate some of the anticipated budget cuts or used for direct services for children. He stated that while he had great appreciation and affection for the CSC staff, he could not support the spending of additional funds in the current budget. Mayor Gunzburger noted that while the cost of living has increased each year, the staff has not received a salary increase in three years. She noted that positions have been left vacant, which means that staff has been working harder for the same or less money. She further pointed out that performance pay does not impact the salary base and is based solely on performance. She added that it is one-time money and does not remain in the budget. Judge Dishowitz noted that while he completely agreed with Mayor Gunzburger, there is a need to be sensitive to public perception and that the Members needed to look for the short-run for the children and the long-run for the organization. Mr. Notter spoke in favor of the performance pay for staff since there is one-time, non-recurring money available, noting that the Members are not taking any money away from the programs and services in order to provide this. Dr. Thaqi expressed agreement with Mr. Notter. She acknowledged that this is a very difficult issue and pointed out that, while not by her choice, state employees have not received a raise in about five years. But she noted that the return on investment from being able to recruit and retain high quality staff is far more than the financial investment. And she emphasized that the Council is able to maintain services at the same time. Ms. Santini offered her support since it is one-time money that is available, adding that if it was increases that continued she would not support it. She said she would be able to support one-time money for staff as they have worked hard without a salary increase for three years, but emphasized that it should be based solely on performance. She added that while it’s not the time to give extra money, it is a small reward to staff who has worked very hard. Mrs. Arenberg Seltzer explained for the audience that the Members were discussing a recommendation from the Executive and Finance Committees to carry forward salary lapse dollars for one-time staff performance pay during the course of Fiscal Year 2010/11. She explained that there was an administrative savings of $360,000 last year in the salary line item and that the Executive and Finance Committees were recommending that half of that amount, $180,000, be carried forward into the current year to reinstitute the staff performance pay, to be paid out according to CSC policy and on the staff’s anniversary date. She emphasized that it was based strictly on

3

performance, did not take away any funding from CSC programs, and was solely money saved from salaries last year. Mr. Morrison spoke in favor of the motion and moved the previous question. Ms. Merolla noted that the Finance Committee went over the carry forward line by line and felt this was an opportunity to recognize staff. She personally thanked the staff and expressed her support for the performance pay. Mrs. Valladares noted that the issue did receive considerable discussion in the two committees, expressed her support for the motion, and thanked the staff for going the extra mile for the children of Broward County. She also emphasized that the money came from administrative efficiencies, not from programs and services. ACTION: Mr. Morrison made a motion to approve the proposed Budget Carry Forward for FY Ended September 30, 2010, in General and Special Revenue Funds. The motion was seconded by Ms. Merolla and passed with one opposing vote from Judge Dishowitz. b) TANF Funds Recommendation: ACTION: Mayor Gunzburger made a motion to approve maintaining the TANF reimbursement funds in Fund Balance with quarterly reviews by the Finance Committee. The motion was seconded by Mr. Morrison and passed with no opposing votes. c) President/CEO Evaluation: Mrs. Valladares explained that the Executive Committee reviewed the Council’s evaluation of the President/CEO, summarizing that the Council is pleased with her work, treasures her, and feels that she is the right person to move the organization forward. She thanked Mrs. Arenberg Seltzer for her commitment and dedication to the CSC. She commended Mrs. Arenberg Seltzer for holding the organization together during these difficult budgetary and personal times, and requested to include the President/CEO in the performance pay opportunity and award 5% or $5,000, whichever is less. Judge Dishowitz noted for the record that while he previously voted in opposition to staff receiving performance pay, he would vote in the affirmative for the President/CEO to be included since the Council had already approved the performance pay for staff and he felt it only fair for the President/CEO to receive it if staff was receiving it. ACTION: Ms. Merolla made a motion to approve the performance pay for the President/CEO for her work in FY 09/10 of 5% or $5,000, whichever is less. The motion was seconded by Mr. Morrison and passed with no opposing votes. Mrs. Arenberg Seltzer thanked the Council on behalf of staff for the recognition of their efforts on behalf of the children of Broward County, and she thanked the Council for their vote of confidence.

V. President’s Report:

a) Good of the Order: Mrs. Arenberg Seltzer noted that the work of Results Based Accountability (RBA) continues. Ms. Swartzbaugh and Ms. Gallagher recently joined with School Board Member Ann Murray to conduct an RBA exercise to reduce youth violence and improve educational outcomes with partners from the City of Hallandale, including the Mayor of Hallandale, Hallandale Education Advisory Board members, school administrators and principals, Broward County Community Partnership Division, and providers. The group generated action steps and began building new relationships. School Board Member Murray plans to replicate this conversation with parents and other cities in her district. Mrs. Arenberg Seltzer offered to replicate this exercise for anyone who so desired. Minority Development Empowerment, Inc. (MDEI) received a $200,000 Bank of America Community Builders Grant. A consultant from the Agency Capacity Building Committee assisted them in writing the successful grant application. b) Florida Children’s Services Council (FCSC) Update: The members of the FCSC have agreed to focus on information sharing, building common data sets, and helping each other do better. There may be a rebate on membership dues due to the vacancy of the CEO position. c) CSC Gubernatorial Appointee Update: Mrs. Arenberg Seltzer explained that the County has extended the deadline for the gubernatorial appointee applications to 5:00 P.M. on November 19. The deadline was extended due to receiving less than the required 15 names to send to the Governor. The authorizing statute states that the County must send the Governor at least three names per vacancy, and there are five Gubernatorial appointee positions. The application forms continue to be available online through the County’s website (www.broward.org). A link has also been created on the CSC website (www.cscbroward.org). A minimum of 15 names will then be submitted to the Governor for his consideration. The Governor will then appoint five Members within 45 days of receiving the names from the County. The current gubernatorial appointees’ terms end January 31, 2011. The Council agreed to address the remaining action items on the agenda first, and then turn to the non-action items.

VI. Finance Committee Report – Action Items: Ms. Santini thanked Mr. Benitez for assuming the responsibilities of the Committee Chair

in her absence.

a) Preliminary Financial Statements FY 2009/10:

ACTION: Ms. Merolla made a motion to approve the preliminary financial statements for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, as presented. The motion was seconded by Mr. Notter and passed with no opposing votes.

5

b) Investment Policy: ACTION: Mr. Morrison made a motion to approve the revised investment policy, as presented. The motion was seconded by Ms. Merolla and passed with no opposing votes.

VII. COO Report:

a) Invoices, P.O.s & Contracts: Ms. Larsen pointed out that the CRA estimates are included for approval, but that the invoices won’t actually be paid until due in December. Judge Dishowitz asked to see if Council members could be included in the cost of a Broward Days organizational membership. Mrs. Arenberg Seltzer will inquire as to that possibility. ACTION: Mr. Morrison made a motion to approve the CSC monthly/annual purchases, as presented. The motion was seconded by Ms. Merolla and passed with no opposing votes. b) Fixed Assets Disposal: ACTION: Ms. Merolla made a motion to approve the disposal of fully depreciated or non-capitalized items, as presented. The motion was seconded by Mr. Morrison and passed with no opposing votes.

VIII. PAOD Report – Action Items: a) 2011 EITC/VITA Program:

Mrs. Bernard-Bastien revised the number normally used as the total amount brought into Broward County through the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) campaign from $90 million to $145 million, as recently confirmed by the IRS. Hispanic Unity received an $83,000 IRS grant to improve recruitment, retention and enhance quality training of volunteers and year-round EITC staff for Hispanic Unity of Florida (HUF), MDEI, and Center for Independent Living (CIL). ACTION: Mayor Gunzburger made a motion to approve the FY 10/11 prosperity campaign public awareness and free tax preparation expenditures, as presented. The motion was seconded by Judge Dishowitz and passed with no opposing votes. b) Hispanic Unity Contract for USDA Food Stamp Hispanic Outreach: ACTION: Mr. Morrison made a motion to approve the Hispanic Unity Contract for USDA Food Stamp Hispanic Outreach Program for FY 10/11, as presented. The motion was seconded by Ms. Santini and passed with no opposing votes.

IX. CPO Report:

a) Jim Moran Foundation Year-End Report:

Ms. Swartzbaugh drew attention to the required report to the Jim Moran Foundation updating them on the Transitional Independent Living (TIL) and Kinship Care partnerships. Mrs. Arenberg Seltzer shared the history of persuading Ms. Katherine Barry of HOMES, Inc., to become involved in TIL and partnering with HANDY and the Jim Moran Foundation. She proudly reported that of the 45 youth residing at the HOMES/HANDY Project, 100% are gainfully employed, 95% are in or out of post secondary education, 92% have remained crime free, and 100% have remained in stable housing for two years. She congratulated the staff at HANDY and HOMES, Inc., for that tremendous success. BankAtlantic is now coming into the TIL partnership to find developers and land for future TIL housing. The goal is 100 new units per year for the next five years. CSC is working to ensure that provider support services are included in the TIL housing projects. b) 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC) Annual Report:

Ms. Swartzbaugh drew attention to the status report on the 21st CCLC Program at six low-performing high schools, noting that the partnership is with the School Board and includes 900 teenagers coming after school for academic and social supports. On behalf of the School District, Mr. Notter thanked the Council and CSC staff for their efforts in this area and for incorporating performance measures into their decision making. Mrs. Arenberg Seltzer thanked Mr. Notter and Mrs. Bartleman for their leadership and willingness to partner. Mrs. Bartleman inquired as to any impact of the School District’s new facilities policy on 21st CCLC programs. Ms. Swartzbaugh will review the new policy and report back to the Council.

X. Annual Program Performance Reports: Mayor Gunzburger congratulated staff on the performance reports and acknowledged the effort placed on assisting low-performing agencies to improve and releasing those who didn’t improve after assistance was provided. Mayor Gunzburger inquired as to whether anything could be done in those instances where a Principal stopped a successful CSC-funded afterschool program from continuing at their school. Ms. Swartzbaugh explained that service is still being provided, either by a different provider or the school itself. She outlined the process of principals and/or parent committees in making those decisions. Mrs. Bartleman requested the names of those students who had received scholarships in the CSC-funded programs, as she wanted to compare those names with the student names in the

7

principal-operated programs to insure that those children were still in the program and were being provided scholarships from the school’s profits.

XI. Finance Committee Report – Non-Action Items: Administrative Monitoring Results: Mrs. Arenberg Seltzer noted that these monitoring results were from the first year that financial and administrative monitoring services were provided in-house, at the suggestion of the Finance Committee Chair, Ms. Santini. A Finance Director and two monitoring staff had since been hired, and the result was more in depth monitoring, with those agencies with findings being able to receive immediate attention and technical assistance. Most findings for the past fiscal year were minor. However, the major finding that was most troubling was missing background screenings. Mrs. Arenberg Seltzer assured the Members that the instances cited were not agency-wide issues, and that the CSC Finance Director is currently working with those agencies to address the issue. She also emphasized that those employees are not allowed to work with children until the background screenings have been completed.

XII. PAOD Report – Non-Action Items: a) Community Outreach Report: Mrs. Bernard-Bastien drew attention to community resource fairs in which CSC has partnered. CSC will be partnering in December with Pines Ford for a Pines Ford Family Day. These resource fairs provide outreach to businesses and the community, and provide information on CSC-funded services. b) Legislative Update:

Mr. Goldman drew attention to the draft 2011 FCSC legislative agenda.

Mayor Gunzburger departed the meeting. XIII. Public Comment:

Mr. Kirk Brown, HANDY, relayed the story of helping a youth residing in a HOMES, Inc./HANDY apartment learn to cook rice. He explained that it made him realize that the holidays are hard for those without a family support structure. He thanked the Council for the ability to serve those youth, who then turn around and serve their communities.

XIV. Council Members’ Comment:

Judge Dishowitz shared his experience in participating in the CSC-sponsored Harvest Drive, through which a significant amount of food was distributed to needy families.

XV. Roundtable:

Mrs. Deborah Forshaw (CSC Program Manager), Ms. Silvia McShan (CSC Special Needs Manager), and Ms. Piper Weber (CSC Program Specialist), outlined the accomplishments of the CSC-funded Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) and Supported Training Employment Program for Special Needs (STEPS).

8

Ms. Carol Hilton, WorkForce One, summarized the success of the SYEP Program and explained the value our six-year collaboration brings to the community in providing more than 700 teens with subsidized work experience each year. She noted that they receive more than 3,000 applications, and have 50 employers with over 200 worksites. Mr. Notter and Judge Dishowitz depart the meeting. Ms. Weber gave an overview of the CSC-funded STEPS program, explaining that this was the first initiative of the Special Needs Advisory Coalition (SNAC) six years ago to address a significant gap in services for this population. This started as a collaboration with WorkForce One providing a small number of youth with special needs with summer work experience and an on-site job coach. It has grown into a cutting-edge program that increases the participating youth’s employability and social skills, serving over 80 children each summer. It is a wonderful collaboration of CSC, the School Board, the Dan Marino Foundation, and UCP. Mr. Phillip Young, Jr., a graduate of Boyd Anderson High School and a current student at Atlantic Technical Center, shared his experience in the STEPS program working at Wyndham Vacation Resorts. He now has a fulltime housekeeping position at Wyndham Palm-Aire. He expressed thankfulness to UCP and Wyndham Resorts for giving him the opportunity to enter the job market. Mr. Tyler Walters, Assistant Resort Manager at the Wyndham Palm-Aire Resort in Pompano Beach, shared his experiences as an employer participating in the STEPS program. Wyndham Vacation Resorts has been a partner with UCP in the STEPS program for four years. He noted that while it benefits the youth, it also benefits Wyndham by raising morale, improving processes, creating a sense of self-awareness, and inciting enthusiasm. He thanked CSC for its critical role in funding and supporting the STEPS program. Ms. Mary Partin, Dan Marino Foundation, shared her experience as a partner in the STEPS program. She explained that the STEPS program is not about giving youth jobs, but giving them dignity, respect, and a purpose. Mr. Jonathan Morales, a graduate of South Plantation High School, shared his inspiring and emotional story of participation in the STEPS Program at Longhorn Steakhouse. He is now a full-time employee at Longhorn Steakhouse. He thanked CSC for its support of the STEPS Program. Mr. Dennis Borello, Managing Partner for Longhorn Steakhouse of Fort Lauderdale, shared his experience as an employer in the STEPS Program. He described STEPS as a great program that gives youth structure and social skills, while at the same time helping the employers by making their team members better. He thanked the Council for its support. Ms. Silvia McShan pointed out that there aren’t many opportunities for youth to enter the workforce, and she congratulated the community for a fantastic partnership. She noted that while applications keep increasing, the quantity of slots remain the same for financial reasons. She noted that a priority will be to obtain additional funders for the STEPS program.

Service Goal 5.1: Improve Children’s Educational Success.

Objective 5: Promote Specialized Child Care Placements for Children with Behavioral Health Needs.

Issue:

Operational Changes to Improve Utilization of Early Childhood Pilot Project.

Action:

Approve Early Learning Coalition (ELC) Contract Amendment RE: T.O.T.S..

Budget Impact: None.

Background: The Council approved an FY 10/11 allocation of $125,600 for an Early Care and Education pilot initiative, “Teaching Oppositional Toddlers to Succeed (T.O.T.S.)”. In collaboration with Family Central and the School District, a contract with ELC, the State-designated agency to oversee and manage school readiness services in Broward County, was executed to provide a safety net for young, low-income children who have been expelled, or are at risk, for child care center expulsion due to unmanageable behaviors such as aggression and biting. In accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the School District provides educational supports for children ages 3 and older with diagnosed disabilities and contracts with selected child care centers for specialized classroom settings, smaller child/teacher ratios and staff with more advanced education and training to manage that population. The Council’s T.O.T.S. pilot was designed to augment School District efforts by providing specialized services for children under 3 with challenging behaviors. Child care centers who were accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) were invited by ELC to apply to be T.O.T.S. sites based on their ability to offer smaller class size with lower child/teacher ratios and staff with more advanced education and training. Unfortunately, this criterion resulted in only two interested centers, countywide, which greatly limited parent access. Current Status: Since implementation, the number of children under age 3 whose aggressive behaviors jeopardize their child care placements has been minimal. However, there has been an indication of need for children ages 4 and 5 and who are at risk of expulsion but do not have the IDEA-eligible diagnosis required for School District placement. Including 5 Star Quality rated child care centers as well as centers using the Positive Behavior Support model will expand the number of qualified centers and improve access to care for patients. A draft contract amendment to serve children through the age of 5 who are not in Kindergarten and expand T.O.T.S.-eligible child care centers is attached for reference. Recommended Action:

Approve Early Learning Coalition (ELC) Contract Amendment.

For Council Meeting

January 20, 2011

Goal 3.1: Reduce Adolescent Risk Factors.

Issue: Ensure Fidelity of Teen Pregnancy Prevention Services in CSC-Funded Programs.

Action:

Approve Teen Outreach Program (TOP) Training and Certification Agreement.

Budget Impact: $48,000 of $518,140 Currently Available In Unallocated Funds for Goal 3.1 for FY 10/11.

Background: In FY 07/08, the Council released the Youth Force RFP to provide comprehensive youth development programs for at-risk middle and high school students to strengthen protective factors and reduce risk factors. The Teen Outreach Program (TOP) was selected as the pregnancy prevention component based on its validated effectiveness in dramatically lowering teen pregnancy rates, suspension and dropout rates and improving student performance. Research conducted by the Brookings Institute found that “given its success in reducing teen pregnancies, its positive cost/benefit ratio, its promotion of volunteer service among young people, and its proven ability to be replicated, the Teen Outreach Program is proposed as the primary model for federal investment in teen pregnancy prevention programs.”

CSC’s local replication of TOP has been highly successful. For the 1,800 participating teens, 99.7% did not become pregnant or cause a pregnancy; 99% did not use drugs or alcohol; 98% had no law violations for a year after program completion and 86% demonstrated improved social skills.

Current Status: To ensure continued fidelity to the TOP model and expand implementation to other CSC teen initiatives including our six (6) 21st Century Learning Centers (21st CCLC) high schools, an Agreement with TOP National, the Missouri-based Wyman Center, is recommended. The investment of $48,000 would support training for 25 provider staff; certification of 3 CSC staff and curricula for all program sites to infuse and sustain this best practice model in CSC teen programming.

TOP National specifies that each lead agency become a “Certified TOPTM Partner”. CSC and TOP National staff have worked closely to develop a training & certification plan to provide CSC with the highest fidelity to the program model in the most cost-effective manner by September 2011. Within this plan, three CSC staff who specialize in teen programming would complete the 5-day Train-the-Trainer program at Top National’s Wyman Center in Missouri during Spring, 2011. By May, a prevention specialist and program supervisor from each of CSC’s 11 Youth FORCE providers would complete the 3-day TOP Facilitator training taught by newly certified CSC staff under TOP National supervision. Additionally, two 21st CCLC staff and a supervisor would complete Facilitator training to implement TOP services for the 2011/12 school year.

Ongoing responsibilities for CSC TOP certified trainers include monitoring of provider fidelity to the model, ensuring provider staff are trained facilitators delivering the required curriculum, conducting site visits to observe TOP sessions, assessing youth satisfaction, monitoring TOP data collection and outcome performance and providing technical assistance and support. Certified CSC staff will be the point of contact for all TOP National site visits to Broward County.

Annual costs to ensure TOP fidelity through 2014 for quality assurance visits, related operational support, data management and performance analysis are estimated at $6,000 to $8,000, depending on the number of sites added over time. A summary of the TOP model is attached for reference.

Service Goal 8.1:

Safeguard the Physical Health of Children.

Objective 1:

Increase the Availability of School Based Health Care at Schools of Highest Need.

Issue: Redistribution of School Health Services Funding Due to Vendor’s Inability to Perform.

Action: Approve Redistribution of School Health Funds from Compass to Medical Staffing Network and Sierra Lifecare.


Background: Effective with the 08/09 School Year, the Council approved contracting with the Health Department as a government procurement exemption to provide a Differentiated Staffing School Health Model with blended funding from the Department of Health (DOH), the School Board of Broward County (SBBC) and the Council. This pilot was implemented in August 2009 using trained paraprofessional Health Support Technicians supervised by Registered Nurses in schools at higher need, as determined by the School District’s data and research department. Although the pilot added five (5) additional schools while reducing the CSC commitment by $500,000, challenges related to insulin administration were identified. This issue, coupled with a reduction in DOH General Revenue funding for FY 10/11, led DOH to determine that their state allocations would be more effectively managed by the SBBC, which provides these and other health services primarily through private home health agencies. On June 17th, the Council gave approval to “piggy-back” on the SBBC School Health procurement. On July 19, 2010, the Executive Committee approved and on September 7, 2010 the Council ratified contracting with three SBBC “qualified” vendors: Medical Staffing Network (15 schools); Sierra Lifecare (10 schools); and Compass Home Healthcare (15 schools). All three vendors began providing school health services in August. Current Status Administrative problems with one of the vendors, Compass Home Healthcare, resulted in their inability to meet payroll and other related contract obligations. Consequently, CSC and Compass Home Healthcare mutually terminated the contract/services as of December 31, 2010. Funds remaining in the Compass budget must be redistributed to the two remaining School Health Vendors who began serving additional schools on January 6th in order to prevent a loss of coverage for the children in those schools. Staff previously employed by Compass have been hired by Medical Staffing Network and Sierra Lifecare and will remain in the same schools for a seamless transition. A summary of the redistribution is as follows:

Background: Since inception, the Council has been a major supporter of afterschool and summer programs that keep children safe, supervised and academically challenged to address several risk factors targeted by the Children’s Strategic Plan. The Council’s MOST programs provide daily academic, fitness, and cultural arts activities afterschool, on non-school days, during the summer, and on early release days. MOST programs operate at over 110 school and community-based sites throughout Broward, for economically disadvantaged children attending Title I schools and children with special physical, developmental and behavioral needs. Current Status: Currently, Council-funded programs serve over 9,000 children in afterschool programs and another 6,300 children in Summer Programs. Although the majority of programs operate year-round, ten (10) programs operated only during the Summer months. The attached spreadsheet displays monitoring findings, outcome performance, utilization and renewal recommendations for nine (9) Summer-Only providers, one provider declined renewal. An option for reallocation of those dollars may be brought back for consideration at a later date. In addition, we propose continuing to fund the Fort Lauderdale Housing Authority at $10,000 to continue to provide transportation for children residing in subsidized housing to various YMCA summer MOST programs and the Hollywood Beach CRA at $228,665 which supports their Summer S.E.A. Camp Program. Recommended Action:

The amendment allowed the City of West Park to offer summer programming to children between the ages of 5 to 12 at McTyre Park and Mary Saunders Park. The program was fully implemented at Mary Saunders Park and staff were observed relating to children in postive ways, and providing frequent praise. The McTyre Park site had staffing issues which led to poor program servcie delivery.

Cool Kids Learn was originally funded as a year-round provider for children between the ages of 5 and 12 years old at one (1) site. In June of 2010 the Council amended the contract making Cool Kids Learn, Inc. a summer only program for Summer 2011 after the program was placed on a Corrective Action Plan for: (1) inconsistent documentation of attendance, and (2) for failing to meet two of the school year program outcomes. The program was over reporting daily attendance , requiring a pay back of $15, 570 to the Council. Due to this inconsistency the Actual Average Daily Attendance cannot be determined. However, children were engaged in activities and staff used positive incentives to encourage participation. The educational program promoted positive social skills, physical fitness, student success and service learning activities teach children to take pride in their neighborhood.

Service Goal 10.1:

Strengthen the Continuum of Care for Children with Special Physical, Developmental and Behavioral Health Needs.

Objective 2:

Provide Transitional Services to Prepare Youth With Disabilities for Post-Secondary Education, Training or Gainful Employment.

Issue:

Supported Training & Employment Program (STEP) RFP Rating Committee Source Experts for Consideration.

Action:

Approve RFP Rating Committee for STEP RFP.


Background: Since the release of the LIFT RFP in 2007, the Council has funded programs to prepare youth with disabilities for the transition from high school to post-secondary education, training or gainful employment. That initial RFP was comprised of two primary components: LIFT and STEPS. The LIFT (Learning Independence thru Focused Transition) program is a multi-faceted youth development afterschool program to support high school students with developmental, physical or multiple disabilities who require intensive social and vocational supports not readily available elsewhere in Broward County. The STEPS (Supported Training and Employment Programs for Special Needs) program provides supported summer employment using a successful on-site job coaching model. While the LIFT programs have had some struggles, both LIFT and STEPS have been filling a big hole in the System of Care. As we approach the end of their contract terms a new RFP is being completed which will draw on the lessons learned over the last three (3) years.

Current Status: A new RFP renamed Supported Training and Employment Programs (STEP) for these two programs will be distributed to the Council for its five (5) day review period shortly. The targeted public release is the end of January. In accordance with Council policy, Council members may serve as RFP raters, appoint designee raters to serve on their behalf and approve community source experts to serve on evaluation committees. Committee members will review, rate and recommend awards to the full Council at the April 21st Council meeting. As always, the Council has full and final authority on all program recommended for funding.

In addition to any Council members who wish to serve on the evaluation committee, the following source experts are recommended:

Partner with the School Board for 21st Century Learning Centers (21st CCLC) Designed to Improve Academic and Social Performance.

Issue:

21st Century Community Learning Centers Request For Proposals (RFP) Rating Committee.

Action:

Approve RFP Rating Committee for 21st CCLC.


Background: Since 2007, the School District and CSC have been partners in a DOE grant application to fund 21st CCLC programs at four (4) low performing high schools: Coconut Creek, Dillard, Hallandale and Stranahan. In 2009, two new schools were added in a second DOE grant: Blanche Ely High and Northeast High. 21st CCLC participants qualify for Free and Reduced Lunch, perform at/or below the 40th percentile on the FCAT, read below grade level, and have documented behavioral problems. The YMCA was selected as the service provider by the four original school Principals.

On July 31, 2010, the original DOE grant for four of the six schools ended. The CSC has committed to continue the partnership with the School District to sustain these 21st CCLC programs to provide academic enrichment and remediation and continue to provide match for the two (2) current DOE grant schools. Outcomes have been very positive and all six high schools met or exceeded all of DOE’s outcome measures. Overall, 84% of students improved their FCAT performance; 87% improved classroom behavior and high program satisfaction was reported by students and parents at 88% and 83%, respectively. With 25% to 42% of students participating in 21st Century programs, four of the High Schools also improved their school grade with Coconut Creek moving from “D” to “C”; Dillard moving from “D” to a “B”; Blanche Ely moving from “D” to “C”; and Stranahan moving from “C” to a “B”. Hallandale and Northeast both maintained their “C” grades.

Current Status: An RFP for 21st Century service provider(s) should be ready for release in February with proposals due in April. In accordance with CSC policy, Council members may serve as raters, appoint designee raters to serve on their behalf and approve community source experts to serve on the rating committees. Funding recommendations from the Committee will be provided to the full Council in May and, as always, the Council has full and final authority on all program awards.

In addition to any Council members who wish to serve on the rating committee, the six High School Principals or their designees are recommended as raters.

Draft Comprehensive Annual financial Report (“CAFR”) for Fiscal Year Ending September 30, 2010

Action:

1. Review Draft CAFR for Fiscal Year Ending September 30, 2010

2. Delegate to Executive Committee Authority to Accept Audit Report and Approve Final CAFR

Budget Impact: None

Background: The year-end Preliminary Financial Statements through September 30, 2010 were reviewed at the November 8, 2010 Finance Committee meeting and approved at the November 18th Council meeting. These statements are the basis for the CAFR for the FY ending September 30, 2010. There may be a few minor changes during the audit and the preparation of the CAFR for the governmental funds. The Government-Wide financial statements also use these Preliminary Financial Statements as the basis along with other information to convert to an accounting method used by most private-sector companies.

Current Status: A summary of the major financial highlights based on the Governmental Fund perspective of fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 include the following:

As expected, Fund Balance decreased $1.7 million or 12.3% decrease from the prior year. This is primarily due to the planned use of fund balance for FY 2009 expenditures to offset declines in ad valorem.

Program Services expenditures decreased $1.3 million or 2.3% from the prior year and in turn, Program Administration expenditures also decreased 3.7% or $107,266 due to reduced salaries and lower SAMIS enhancement costs.

The Program Budget for fiscal year 2009/10 was less by $2.3 million or 3.9% from the prior year. The good news is that the programs utilized more of their budgets by 1.6% than the prior year. The net result from the Government-Wide basis is that approximately 93% of total expenses support various programs and services for children and their families of Broward County.

Interest revenues decreased significantly due to less principal, coupled with lower market interest rates. However, investments currently held by SBA in Fund B have improved significantly and went from a Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of ($159,175) at September 30, 2009 to a NAV of $172,495 at September 30, 2010. Additionally $174,201 was transferred from this restricted fund into the Florida Prime fund. The net remaining value in Fund B is $420,708 down from a high of $2,975,343.

General Administrative expenditures decreased from the prior year primarily due to reduced costs of owning a building rather than renting. Costs for operating the facility (net of the additional insurance cost and including rental income) were $166,007 less than the prior year.


CRA fees for fiscal year 2010 decreased slightly by 1% or $15,549 for a total of $1,491,202 due to the declining property values throughout the county. Tax Collector fees are based on the Property Appraisers operating budget and allocated among the taxing districts. These fees increased slightly from the prior year by 2.32% or $7,082.

To help illustrate the financial activity for the Program Service Goals from various perspectives, staff has prepared a couple of charts and graphs. The first graph below is a snapshot of fiscal year 2009/10 expenditures by percentage for each Program Service Goal.

The chart below depicts unallocated budget, utilization and underutilization of program funding from each fiscal year since inception. As you can see, unallocated funds were reduced significantly from the first year of operations to almost nothing in fiscal years 2005-06 and 2006-07. Early in fiscal year 2007-08, staff consciously tried to conserve all unallocated funds to help soften the effect of lower property values on the overall budget. Hence, unallocated funds grew to 5%. With the worsening economic climate and the ever growing need for the Council’s services, most all funds were allocated and utilized over the past two fiscal years.

The CAFR is in the final stages of review by the auditors and a draft copy will be distributed at the Council meeting on January 20th. Since it is likely there will not be a full complement of Council Members appointed in time for the February meeting, staff is requesting the Council delegate authority to the Executive Committee to approve the Auditor’s Report and the final CAFR in February in order to meet the deadline for submission to GFOA. The final printed and bound CAFR will be distributed at the Council’s March meeting, as well as submitted to GFOA for review in the Excellence for Financial Reporting program. There should not be any substantial changes from the draft copy but the Auditors need an opportunity to present their “Required Communications” to the Board or the Executive Committee.

Budget Amendments and Financial Statements for First Quarter Ending December 31, 2010

Action:

Approve Budget Amendments and Financial Statements for Quarter Ending December 31, 2010

Budget Impact: None

Background: The first quarter Budget Amendments and Interim Financial Statements through December 31, 2010 are attached for your review and approval. While the statements are through the quarter’s end, they only include expenditures for program services provided through November, 2010 since billing runs a month behind. However, the administrative costs are presented through the end of December.

Current Status: A summary of the major financial highlights of the first quarter include the following:

This year’s initial receipt of tax revenue is significantly higher than this same time period last year. The majority of tax revenues are received in the month of December as many property owners take advantage of the 4% discount for paying their taxes promptly. Tax revenue received for the current fiscal year is 80% of the total annual budget as compared to 66% received at this same time last year.

Total assets increased $6.77 million from the first quarter of fiscal year 2009/10 compared to today. This is primarily due to the additional cash collections from taxes and other revenue.

Received a one-time $2.3 million payment in federal reimbursement through the TANF Emergency Contingency Fund (TANF-ECF). These funds were a “reimbursement” of prior fiscal year expenditures and have no restrictions. The Council is holding these funds in Fund Balance with quarterly reviews to see if some may be allocated later in the year when there is more clarity about property values.

Budget for Program Services compared to last year decreased by $3.2 million or 5.61% due to reduced ad valorem. These decreases are spread across many of the program goals with the largest budget reductions in the areas of delinquency prevention for $1.16 million or 16.6% and $960,000 or a 9.76% reduction in family strengthening programs, which was achieved primarily by eliminating non-performing providers or bringing contracts in line with their utilization history.

The timing of invoice submission from the agencies mentioned above is also the reason for the $1.6 million budget variance reflected on page 4. Since the invoices were not received in the month budgeted, this variance is relatively high. The agencies that have not submitted their invoices in a timely manner were contacted; many of these invoices are arriving and will be included in next month’s financial statement.

fin stmt cvr ltr-1st qtr fy11.docx

The first quarter’s financial statements include the CRA payments as these fees are due by December 31, 2010. For FY 2010-11, the CRA fees are slightly lower ($60,044 or 4.03%) from the prior year due to decreased property values, even though CSC’s millage rate rose slightly.

The Capital Outlay annual budget is much less for this fiscal year than last due to the items that were carried forward last year for completing the building infrastructure and Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment. The current year capital expenditures are primarily for computer servers and up-grades that are part of the normal replacement life cycle.

Utilization for most of the programs began the new fiscal year right on track. There are a few cases where the contracts took a little longer than normal to execute which delayed the billing, but for most of the programs, utilization is within range of the “Ideal” target rate.

To help illustrate the allocation percentage for the Program Service Goals for the new fiscal year, below is a snapshot of the overall Program Service Goals by percentage of fiscal year 2010/11.

(1) The Children's Services Council of Broward County ("CSC") budgets, as revenue, 95% of the property taxes levied, as

allowed by state statute.

(2) The modified accrual basis of accounting is utilized by CSC. Under the modified accrual basis, revenues are

recognized in the accounting period in which they become available and measurable. Expenditures are recognized in

the accounting period in which the liability is incurred, if measurable.

(3) Funds invested in the SBA accommodate pool participants with readily available cash. A substantial portion

of the portfolio is placed in short-term securities (“Fund A”) and with the recent downgrade of certain

subprime investments a smaller portion of the pool includes longer maturities and higher credit risk (“Fund B”).

The pool follows GASB Statement No. 31 which outlines two options for accounting and reporting for money market

investment pools as either “2a-7 like fund” or fluctuation net asset value (“NAV”). Accordingly, the SBA has reported

the same value as the pool shares allocated to Fund A and Wells Fargo Advantage funds; and the NAV value for shares

allocated to SBA Fund B. At September 30, 2010, the Gain/(Loss) on Investments for Fund B was $174,303.86 and this

amount was reflected within the CAFR. Accordingly, this amount is reversed in the current year and the NAV will be

revalued at year's end.

(4) Includes various pending contracts not yet encumbered such as training, hunger, ECE, 21st Century, etc.

(5) The reserved for administrative costs include projected expenditures for salary, fringe, travel, supplies, etc.

for fiscal year 2010/11.

(6) The Budget to Actual Expenditures Report reflects the actual expenditures for the month and year-to-date basis, and

does not include encumbrances. Encumbrances are included on the Budget to Actual (Budgetary Basis) Report, which

reflects the annualized budget and all outstanding encumbrances and actual expenditures through the current period.

(7) The expenditures on the Program Services Goal Report run a month behind. Amounts reflected in the current month

are for services provided during the prior month. This timing delay is due to the invoice due date on the 10th of the month

following service delivery. Therefore, the Programs Goal Report is for services through the month of November and some

from December that are processed in December.

(8) Unassigned fund balance changes as revenue is received and actual expenditures are incurred.

For Council Meeting

January 20, 2011

Issue:

CSC Monthly Purchases for Administrative Operations

Action:

Approve CSC Monthly/Annual Purchases

Budget Impact: See attached Report

Background: The State Statute creating and governing the CSC, Chapter 2000-461, as amended, states:

Section 6: No funds of the council shall be expended except by check as aforesaid, except the expenditure of petty cash or the issuance of checks made payable for sums no greater than $5,000, shall be expended without prior approval of the council, in addition to the budgeting thereof.

The Council’s procurement policies and procedures stipulate that expenditures are approved by the Council prior to being expended. As such, the financial system requires a Council Approval (CA) date at multiple points throughout the system including all processed payments. Internal controls for tracking expenditures in accordance with the statute are validated by auditors every year and there have been no significant deviations since the inception of the Council.

Since 2004 at the Council’s direction, staff was instructed to only provide back-up material for purchases when the item is over $10,000. As always, back-up for purchases below $10,000 are available upon request. Current Status: In accordance with policy, please find attached the Invoices, Travel, Purchase Orders, Sponsorships, etc. for the month of January, 2011. To facilitate reviewing the various purchases, staff has segregated the items into various categories. All purchases listed are with the budget approved by the Council at TRIM as amended from time to time.

Please note that items over $10,000 have a specific Issue Paper or copy of the related back-up attached to further explain the expenditure. Additional information for any expenditure is available upon request. Recommended Action: Approve CSC Monthly/Annual Purchases Budget Impact: See attached Report

Service Goal 5.1:

Improve Children’s Educational Success.

Objective 3:

Support Community Efforts to Strengthen Early Childhood Education (ECE) Initiatives.

Issue:

Development of an ECE Website.

Action:

Approve Development of an ECE Website.

Budget Impact: $21,600 of $28,445 Available in Goal 5.1.3 for FY10/11.

Background: In January 2008,in response to input from community stakeholders, CSC and the A.D. Henderson Foundation partnered to jointly fund an Early Care and Education initiative to work at a systems level to implement collaborative quality childcare improvement activities and provide a central point of contact and accountability for all ECE partners. The initiative supports two positions housed at CSC: a Program manager and an Administrative Assistant. The project has been successful and was recently approved for a three year continuation grant by the A.D. Henderson Foundation. Due to a CSC freeze on cost of living and merit pay, under-utilized funds were approved for roll-over from FY 09/10 to FY 10/11. Current Status: In concert with the A.D Henderson Foundation and the Children’s Strategic Plan ECE subcommittee, development of a Broward Early Care & Education website is recommended to enhance access to service and resource information for children ages birth to 5 for parents, child care providers, community agencies, funders and others. Exploratory consultation with NEX Software, the company that developed and maintains the CSC website falls within the budget available with options for the website, purchase of a domain name, logo development, and other components that will be determined during website development. Specific purchase amounts will be brought back to the Council for approval as the work products are finalized. Action:

Approve Development of an ECE Website.

Issue:

Various Insurance for CSC Employees

Action:

Delegate to Executive Committee Authority to Approve Insurance Renewals for CSC Employees

Budget Impact: Not Yet Known

Background: The term for employee benefits is effective March 1, 2011 - February 28, 2012. Staff and USI, our brokers, have been working diligently with not only the current carriers but also other insurance providers to get their quotes. We should have the information within the next couple of weeks.

Current Status: Since it is likely there will not be a full complement of Council Members appointed in time for the February meeting, staff is requesting the Council delegate authority to the Executive Committee to approve the insurance renewals in February in order to avoid a lapse in service.

Recommended Action: Delegate to Executive Committee Authority to Approve Insurance

For Council Meeting

January 20, 2011

Service Goal 2.2:

Strengthen the Community’s Awareness of Available Resources.

Objective 1:

Lead Community Collaborative to Coordinate Local Prosperity Campaigns.

Issue:

Prosperity Campaign Update.

Action:

None. For Information Only.


Background: The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a tax credit for people who work but earn low wages. In 2002, the CSC began promoting EITC through county-wide public awareness collaborations with community partners. Since then, confirmed EITC returns in Broward have increased by over $145 million. Over the years, the CSC focus has steadily shifted from outreach to increased capacity at free tax-preparation Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites, where EITC recipients are encouraged to file their returns, as well as receive access to other social services likely to improve their well-being. These broadened efforts have resulted in the renaming of the EITC Campaign to the Prosperity Campaign.

Current Status: On January 7th, CSC staff convened partners to discuss ongoing activities regarding the 2011 tax season. Our prosperity campaign is in full swing and many volunteer tax preparation and certification classes have been completed. HUF and MDEI will operate 18 CSC funded VITA sites and the IRS, HUF, CIL and MDEI opened sites on January 18th. In addition, the United Way of Broward County’s (UWBC) donated RV will operate as the EITC Mobile Unit. It has been retrofitted to provide not only tax preparation, but other social service benefits such as Food Stamps, KidCare, WIC, Financial Literacy and other social services. Single site tax preparation sites will be operational until April 15th with the exception of the mobile unit, which will operate as a prosperity center until the end of 2011.

HUF and the Urban League (UL) are collaborating on an innovative service delivery model to permanently lift Broward families out of poverty. The result of their partnership is a new service delivery framework called the “Center for Working Families” (CWF). This model employs an integrated approach that is designed to help low-income families increase their earnings and income, reduce their financial transaction costs, and generate new wealth for themselves and their communities. In 2011, HUF and UL will each launch a Center for Working Families site by adding elements to existing high quality services and combining them in ways that assist low-income families to move toward economic success. Specifically, these centers will help low-income families through the provision of integrated and bundled services in the areas of employment, income/work supports and financial coaching.

UWBC is spearheading a new initiative titled “Bank On” in collaboration with CSC and other prosperity partners. This project is designed to identify and help the unbanked population achieve financial stability. It will be a partnership of Banks, Local Government and Community Organizations that will help unbanked Floridians open starter accounts and enter the financial mainstream where they can begin saving, build a credit history, get access to lower-cost sources of credit and invest for their future.

E:\CSC Action Items\FY10-11\Jan 2011\EITC

The Florida Prosperity Partnership (FPP) is a statewide collaboration of more than one hundred twenty partner organizations from all sectors of the community which CSC staff helped launch. The FPP members collaborate to improve the financial stability and well-being of Floridians. Sandra Bernard-Bastien is a founding board member and is the organization’s Board Secretary. Evan Goldman, who is a FPP Policy Committee Chair, was elected to the board in December.

For Council Meeting

January 20, 2011

System Goal 2.1:

Strengthen the Community’s Awareness of Available Resources and Advocacy Efforts on Behalf of Children and Families.

Objective 2:

Educate Broward’s Taxpayers About the Work of the Council.

Issue:

Community Outreach Update

Action:

None: For Information Only

Budget Impact: None

Background: Since its inception, the Council has educated the public about available resources in Broward County in a coordinated and comprehensive manner by conducting public awareness activities through targeted community interaction at minimal cost.

Current Status: CSC staff has participated in, has coordinated and is organizing a series of community outreach events as listed below.

In early December, the 21st Century Learning Center’s episode of Future First was completed, with the assistance and enthusiastic participation of student leaders from Dillard High School. This program is currently being aired on Becon TV and is available on the CSC Facebook page.

On December 4th the CSC co-sponsored Pines Family Day drew over one thousand members of the public who learned about resources and information for the entire family. There were over thirty five informational booths and tables and was considered a resounding success for our collaborative style. See attached picture collage.

On December the 16th, Staff participated in a DJJ resource fair for Juvenile Probation Officers (JPO). The event provided JPOs with resources and information on agencies that provide family strengthening and other relevant CSC funded programming.

On December the 23rd the CSC 2009 Annual Report was delivered to the County Commission, as mandated by statute. The publication has been lauded by everyone who has read it. Copies will be provided at the meeting, or can be accessed through the website at www.cscbroward.org.

On January the 17th at the behest of Commissioner Dale Holness, the CSC and Volunteer Broward are coordinating a mini resource fair for the City of Pompano’s MLK Project at Blanche Ely High School. Over 15 agencies have agreed to participate

On January the 29th CSC staff will be participating in the Dan Marino Foundation’s Walk About Autism Resource Area to be held at the Sun Life Stadium. Our Partner agency, Volunteer Broward will post the project online to recruit volunteers to assist with the event which is expected to attract over 5,000 people. In March, the CSC is scheduled to participate in The Coral Springs Saves event. Coral Springs Saves is a local sub-campaign of the national initiative, America Saves. America Saves is a national campaign that encourages individuals and families to save, pay down debt and build financial capital.

\FY10-11\January 20\Community Outreach: Broward AWARE!

For Council Meeting

January 20, 2011

System Goal 2.1:

Strengthen the Community’s Awareness of Available Resources and Advocacy Efforts on Behalf of Children and Families.

Objective 2:

Educate Broward’s Taxpayers About the Work of the Council Through the Production of Outreach Materials Available Using the Full Spectrum of Media and Community Outreach tools.

Issue:

Abuse & Neglect Prevention Awareness – Broward Aware!

Action:

None: For Information Only

Budget Impact: None

Background: Since its inception, the Council has educated the public about important issues facing Broward’s children and families and resources to address those issues in a coordinated and comprehensive manner by conducting public awareness activities at minimal cost. Since 2009, CSC staff has supported the efforts of the Broward County Sexual Assault Treatment Center and the Ounce of Prevention Fund to raise awareness of child abuse and child abuse prevention through “Pinwheels for Prevention” during the month of April, which is designated Child Abuse Prevention Month. This one-day event held at the Rev. Sam Delevoe Park, on Fort Lauderdale’s Sistrunk Blvd, included a resource fair, entertainment, food, raffle prizes and mini-workshops on ways to protect babies and children. For two years, the CSC made a $1000 sponsorship contribution and leveraged purchased media time to support this event.

Current Status: In FY 2010-11, realizing that incidents of child abuse have been on the rise, due in part, to the worsening economic crisis, and recognizing the importance of raising awareness on what constitutes a broader definition of child abuse, the CSC has taken a leading role in coordinating the efforts of community partners involved in this effort through a 4 month campaign named “Broward AWARE! Protecting OUR Children.” A new name and a new logo was created to support this. Broward AWARE! Protecting OUR Children is a campaign that aims to ensure that Broward County families, educators, media, law enforcement and all stakeholders use and share resources that will make it possible for all children to safely realize their full potential, hopes and dreams. The campaign uses Public Awareness resources already budgeted and approved by the Council to broaden collaborative efforts and leverage media opportunities. Media partners offering in-kind services include Comcast, Sun-Sentinel, Disney Radio, Clear Channel, Cox Radio, Univision, NBC 6 and others. Through the 4 month campaign culminating in April, Child Abuse Prevention Month, workshops will be held at different partnering sites on issues related to safe sleep, preventing shaken baby syndrome, parenting classes, water safety, fatherhood involvement, family strengthening and more. Elements of other local campaigns, such as the federally funded and Broward County/Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies managed Best 4 Broward Babies’ campaign that coincides with Broward AWARE! will add media leveraging opportunities. For instance, on April 8th, as part of Broward AWARE!, Healthy

\FY10-11\January 20\Community Outreach: Broward AWARE!

Mothers Healthy Babies will report back to the community on the 3-year anniversary of a Call to Action to Address Black Infant Mortality (3:1 ratio of black babies dying versus white babies in Broward, in 2008, now down to 2:1) at the African American Research Library and Cultural Center. On April 9th the third annual community resource fair will be held at the Rev. Sam Delevoe Park in Ft. Lauderdale and later that evening, as part of Volunteer Broward’s Heart of the Community, a Child Abuse Prevention Champion will be honored. Additionally in April, the CSC will partner with the Broward County Drowning Prevention task force on their “April Pool’s Day” event. Current campaign partners include Children’s Services Council, Department of Children and Families, ChildNet, Broward Sheriff’s Office, Broward County Health Department, Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies, Healthy Families, Broward County Public Schools, Broward County Sexual Assault Treatment Center, Broward County Human Trafficking Coalition, The Humanity Project, Volunteer Broward, Children’s Home Society, Legal Aid of Broward County, 2-1-1 Broward, ARC Broward and more. A press conference launching the campaign was held on January 13, in conjunction with the Florida premiere of the screening of the documentary Playground, by Broward AWARE! partner, Broward Human Trafficking Coalition, on the child sexual trade and its presence in our community.

System Goal 2.1:

Strengthen the Community's Awareness of Available Resources and Advocacy Efforts on Behalf of Children and Families.

Objective 3: Advocate for all Children Representing Broward’s Diverse Communities Through Public Awareness, Community and Legislative Outreach at the Local, State and National Level.

Issue:

Legislative Update.

Action: None. For Information Only.

Budget Impact None.

Background: In addition to providing funding and resources, the Council’s mission statement provides for advocacy on behalf of Broward’s children and families. In furtherance of that mission, FL CSC staff and government affairs staff from several CSCs, including Broward, work collaboratively during committee weeks and legislative sessions in order to provide a voice for issues relating to children and families at the Capitol. Current Status: With the 2011 Florida Legislative Session set to begin on March 8th, legislative committees and local delegations have been meeting in preparation for issues that will include dealing with a $3.5 billion state budget deficit. Here in Broward, the CSC has been working closely with state lawmakers. On January 5th, the CSC hosted the local bill public hearing which was attended by 12 legislators and over 60 participants. Significantly, it provided an opportunity to remind legislators of the “green” aspects of our facility and let them know that our building belongs to all members of the community. On January 7th, Cindy Arenberg Seltzer represented both the CSC and The Children’s Movement of Florida at the public hearing on human services held at the African-American Research Library and Cultural Center. Her testimony was well received not only by lawmakers, but the nearly 50 child advocates dressed in Children’s Movement T-shirts and buttons. Supporters sat towards the front of the auditorium and comprised two-thirds of those in attendance. Also on January 7th, the CSC convened the inaugural 2011 Broward Days Children’s Issues Team meeting. The group has served as an effective vehicle to promote “born in Broward” legislative initiatives such as Florida’s first-ever relative caregiver program, the inter-agency educational agreement, efforts to streamline KidCare enrollment and more. This year, the group will be joining with the Children’s Movement to support their five-key issues which include mentoring, special needs, parent skill-building, children’s health care and early childhood

education. The team will also assist statewide efforts to improve support for young adults exiting foster care and collaborate with the Broward Days Economic Development and Education: Pre-K/12 Teams on a local symposium highlighting the nexus between children’s issues, education and the economy. Rep. Ari Porth, immediate past-chair of the Broward Legislative Delegation, will reconvene his Early Childhood Caucus in Tallahassee. The initial agenda includes representatives from state law enforcement, the Florida Chamber of Commerce and a special guest, PNC Financial Services, who will be discussing PNC’s $100 MILLION investment in early childhood education through their “Grow Up Great” initiative. Finally, lawmakers in Broward and across the state continue to view CSC staff as the leading resource for issues relating to children and families. Of particular significance, Sandra Bernard-Bastien recently travelled to Tallahassee for the inauguration at the behest of Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll. This connection will likely result in closer ties with the state executive branch and is another example of how staff works to keep children’s issues at the forefront of policymakers and opinion leaders. Copies of the FCSC legislative agenda and the Children’s Movement legislative agenda are attached for reference. Recommended Action: None. For Information Only. Budget Impact: None.

2011 FLORIDA CSC STATE POLICY PROGRAM

Moving the Children’s Agenda

Working together to ensure Florida’s children are healthy, safe and ready to succeed

Children’s Services Councils (CSCs) fund primary prevention and early intervention programs in their communities. These investments help to ensure

healthy and productive children and youth, family well being and self sufficiency. CSCs also provide public policy leadership and advocacy for Florida’s children and families.

Last updated: 1/12/11 1

Children’s Services Councils Children’s Services Councils (CSCs) work to ensure the best outcomes for Florida’s children by wisely investing, through our community partners, in programs and services that work. CSCs support policies that promote healthy development throughout a child’s early years and create a foundation for later school achievement, economic productivity, responsible citizenship, and successful parenting. CSCs save the state money. By funding prevention-based programs, CSCs help to reverse the need for costlier remedial programs, thereby reducing the burden to taxpayers. This is particularly important during tough economic times. Juvenile crime rates drop. Gang violence is diminished. Child abuse and neglect is reduced. Children and their families are healthier and more self-sufficient. Students perform better in school. Children are prepared to succeed.

Early Childhood Systems of Care – A Proven Investment Strategy

Early childhood systems of care provide a network of comprehensive services and supports that focus on the overall health and developmental needs of young children. These systems ensure optimal outcomes for children by bridging gaps in services. They also contribute to global economic outcomes, including a larger, more qualified workforce, healthier communities, and a thriving consumer market. Strategies to promote early childhood systems of care include:

PROMOTE the funding of programs and services that are proven to work and increase the potential for children to have the best outcomes. ENSURE Florida proactively seeks and allocates adequate funding (known as Maintenance of Effort) to draw down all federal funds available to support early childhood programs. SUPPORT the work of the Children’s Movement of Florida, a bipartisan grassroots movement to make children the highest priority in the State of Florida.

INCREASE participation and commitment to the Early Childhood Caucus, a bipartisan effort in the Florida Legislature to address issues related to early childhood. WORK with state leaders and the Children’s Cabinet to pursue a cohesive vision and plan, align public resources and promote increased efficiency and improved service delivery. SUPPORT development of a Statewide Early Childhood Advisory Council under the auspices of the Children’s Cabinet. Ensure that the advisory council’s work is coordinated and consolidated with activities of the existing Early Learning Advisory Council. MONITOR rulemaking activities to ensure appropriate implementation of policies. MONITOR agency consolidation efforts to ensure programs that support children’s health, learning and safety are not negatively impacted.

CRITICAL PRIORITIES

PROTECT FUNDING AND IMPROVE EARLY CHILDHOOD/AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS PRESERVE 2010 levels of funding for early childhood programs: child care, voluntary pre-kindergarten (VPK), and home visitation programs serving pregnant women and newborns. MAINTAIN the base allocation rate for VPK and student ratios so children can be successful and achieve the best outcomes. ENSURE that funding formulas and policies do not discourage Early Learning Coalitions from serving school age children. ASSURE funds for afterschool programs are maintained.


REDUCE THE NUMBER OF UNINSURED CHILDREN SEEK opportunities to maximize available matching revenues and reduce the number of uninsured children. SUPPORT retention and cost-effective targeted enrollment efforts in the Florida KidCare program, particularly school-based efforts provided through the sharing of data from the free and reduced lunch program to Florida Healthy Kids and the Department of Children and Families.

OPPOSE EFFORTS TO REDUCE LOCAL REVENUE STREAMS FOR CHILDREN’S PROGRAMS

ENSURE that efforts to reduce revenue streams for local governments and special taxing districts do not negatively impact children, including investments Children’s Services Councils make in community-driven systems of care for children and families.

FOCUS ISSUES

QUALITY EARLY LEARNING EXPERIENCES

QUALITY CHILD CARE/VOLUNTARY UNIVERSAL PRE-KINDERGARTEN SUPPORT creation of a coordinated statewide professional development system to ensure early childhood professionals have clear means to improve their knowledge and skills, which results in better outcomes for children. SUPPORT the use of curricula with proven successful outcomes in early childhood programs. SUPPORT efforts to adequately assess kindergarten readiness by conducting appropriate assessments rather than year-end pre-K tests. ENSURE quality improvements in both VPK and school readiness programs so that children can be successful and have the best outcomes.

HEALTHY CHILDREN SUPPORT universal developmental screenings, assessments, and access to appropriate interventions in early childhood programs, including childcare, pre-K, Head Start, and Early Steps. ENSURE that Medicaid reform efforts provide appropriate pre-natal care and a medical home for each child. ENSURE all children have access to an annual health (physical and mental) and preventive dental visit. SUPPORT legislation that requires an approved child restraint device - booster seat plus seat belt - be used for children ages 4-8.


SUPPORT ISSUES

CHILD WELFARE

PREVENT funding reductions for Community Based Care programs, adoption subsidies and child protective services.

ENSURE that children with developmental disabilities in state custody continue to receive priority status for services from the Agency for Persons with Disabilities. ENSURE that young adults leaving foster care can be successful and have the best outcome through adequate and appropriate Road to Independence program support.

JUVENILE JUSTICE

SUPPORT the revenue-neutral 2008 Blueprint Commission's reform recommendations, particularly those focused on prevention and community-driven solutions.

PRESERVE funding for Juvenile Assessment Centers (JACs) in areas with high need and utilization. PRESERVE prevention and diversion funding including that for Children in Need of Services/Families in Need of Services (CINS/FINS) and effective girls’ programs.



FLORIDA CHILDREN’S SERVICES COUNCIL

The Florida Children’s Services Council (Florida CSC) is a non-profit association that represents children’s services councils in counties throughout the state. Florida CSC employs the collective strengths of these public organizations to improve young lives by making strategic investments in programs designed to achieve optimal outcomes for Florida’s children. Its mission is to promote policies that build effective primary prevention and early intervention systems for young children and their families.

THE CHILDREN’S MOVEMENT OF FLORIDA | WWW.CHILDRENSMOVEMENTFLORIDA.ORG

Children’s Movement of Florida 2011 Agenda

Parent Skill-Building

Parents play the most central and formative role in children’s lives. The importance of loving, responsive and caring adults in the lives of children is central to children’s healthy development. But parenting also can be stressful, frustrating and confusing. All parents have questions and concerns about their children, but not everyone has trusted sources for the answers they need. Further, given the explosion over the last 20 years in new research and insights into child development, all parents can benefit from information and support while raising their children. In Florida, however, parents often do not know where to find information. This can be changed by making information available statewide.

Implement a public awareness campaign and provide information to families on the importance of early development, nurturing parenting and parental involvement; provide and publicize a statewide phone line and website in at least three languages (English, Spanish, Creole); upon parent’s request, provide information on their child’s development regularly by text and email: $10 million.

Mentoring

Mentoring programs connect children with caring adults and create the structure for a nurturing relationship. Florida once was the national leader in mentoring, creating more than 200,000 relationships through the Governor’s Mentoring Initiative launched in 1999 by Gov. Jeb Bush, which was embraced widely throughout the state by the public and private sectors. Unfortunately, funding for mentoring has decreased recently, and mentoring no longer seems a high priority for Florida's top elected leaders. Florida can begin to regain its leadership on mentoring through these modest steps:

Require the Florida Mentoring Partnership to update and reactivate the strategies that made Florida the national leader on mentoring: $100,000.

Reallocate the $4 million appropriated during the 2010 legislative session for mentoring through DOE to be overseen by the Florida Mentoring Partnership for research-based mentoring initiatives and assessment on mentoring programs.

Identify and collect common mentoring data statewide to inform planning and capacity, and measure impact of mentoring through DOE: Cost: NA.

Require longitudinal research by a third-party evaluator of Florida’s key mentoring programs: $80,000.

Developmental Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment for Children with Special Needs

Many children have special needs, temporarily or throughout their lives. Others at risk can avoid permanent disability if helped early. Information and support – online, by phone and in the community – can help parents guide children through these challenges and find peace of mind. Unfortunately, many parents who notice something might be wrong with their child do not know how or where to find help. If we put knowledge at parents’ fingertips, they can assess their children and obtain helpful information if there’s reason to be concerned:

Provide on-line screening and referral tools for families: Through statewide campaign (above), provide screening tools for parents and referral resources via on-line, telephone and community portals: $25.5 million.

Conduct an inventory of currently available treatment programs for children with special needs and develop statewide implementation plan to ensure timely screening, diagnosis and treatment for them: $500,000.

Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten Program (VPK)

In November 2002, Florida’s voters passed a constitutional amendment to offer free, voluntary pre-kindergarten (VPK) programs to every 4 year old in the state. More than 160,000 4 year olds, or about 69 percent of the eligible population, now participate in this program, costing the state $366 million annually. Florida started the statewide program with a tight timetable and limited budget, resulting in the state meeting only three of 10 nationally recommended standards and ranking 34th among 38 states in per pupil funding. While Florida has a solid foundation, enhancements to the current model would help Florida more fully deliver on the promise of a high-quality preschool education. The current standards and per pupil reimbursement are inadequate to deliver high-quality programs, as originally promised. Florida can significantly improvement its VPK program in 2010 by taking the steps outlined below:

Provide higher per pupil funding for VPK programs so that more qualified teachers can be hired: $13.5 million.

Fund a process that will produce more highly qualified lead teachers in all VPK classrooms through scholarships and the expansion of degree programs statewide: $22 million.

Implement research-based curriculum in all VPK classrooms and provide materials and support for implementation: $47.3 million.

Improve the accountability system: Mandate pre- and post-assessment of children; observe teachers to inform personal professional development plans: $6.4 million.

Health Care

Florida has the nation's second-highest percentage of uninsured children, and one recent report places our state atop that list. More than 12 percent of our children – at least 548,000 of Florida's youngest, most vulnerable citizens – do not have health insurance. Children without health insurance do not receive adequate care, do not seek prompt treatment when they are ill, and when they enter a hospital in Florida, they are 1.5 times as likely to die there as are insured children. Florida can provide health insurance to more than half of all uninsured children through outreach and a modest investment:

Outreach to eligible families to access KidCare, including targeted enrollment efforts in schools: $6 million.

Increase number of children with health insurance: Provide more than 300,000 children with health insurance: $176.8 million (new federal funds generated: $271 million)

Minutes

Approved with no revisions

Item #3 Develop SNAC

Mission Statement

Silvia Mcshan, CSC – A SNAC mission statement has been drafted and the committee was asked to review and provide feedback. The committee agreed to give responses via email to Silvia by the end of the week. The proposed mission is as follows: To provide advocacy and leadership to enhance the lives of children with disabilities and support parents as advocates through collaborative planning, funding and training opportunities to create a comprehensive system of care.

Committee members to forward revisions to Silvia via email.

Item #4 Nominating

Committee for New Officers

Recommendations for revisions to the current SNAC organizational model: - Two people from different agencies to chair the committee. A chair from a funding entity as

well as a parent advocate would be a valuable asset to rally more people to the table.

- Engage entities that are currently not on SNAC to chair the committee. The incoming chair must know the SNAC’s mission. To select someone who hasn’t worked with the committee before would not be beneficial.

- A representative from the hospital district should be engaged. Joe Rogers used to come and participate with SNAC. The presence of the hospital district and United Way is also important.

- Possible rotation of SNAC meeting locations to facilitate more involvement of hospital district and outreach. Reach out to Broward Health and Memorial Hospital System partners.

Members voted for SNAC meetings to remain at CSC.

SNAC will be chaired by two individuals, one representing CSC and the other chosen by the Coalition.

ITEM DISCUSSION ACTION FOLLOW-UP Item #4 (CONT’D)

Nominating Committee for New

Officers

- Recommendation to continue the SNAC meetings at CSC to promote consistency was proposed.

- Create a project to encourage new agency participation.

- The structure of SNAC must be defined. What are we looking for in a chair? There are new officials in local and state government. SNAC must be focused with pinpoint goals and objectives to present to the new administration. Leadership of SNAC must be the “talking heads” of the committee, introduce the SNAC, and bring our issues to the forefront.

- The term “committee” sounds too small for the scope of work the SNAC is accomplishing. “Coalition” better represents the productivity of the SNAC and its participating agencies. A motion to change the name from Special Needs Advisory Committee to Special Needs Advisory Coalition was made and seconded.

- Send a letter to local government officials inviting them to attend an upcoming SNAC meeting. Should make an appointment to meet with officials to inform them of issues of the SNAC early in the year (February). Do not wait, start now as officials are already preparing; now is the time to engage them.

- In past years, providers were discouraged from chairing the SNAC, but they are the best advocates for the special needs community and should be considered as well. Recommendations have gone forward to revisit rules primarily because SNAC is an information sharing committee and doesn’t make funding decisions.

The marketing/legislative committee was recommended to be the nominating committee for the Chair selection. The next marketing/legislative committee meeting will be scheduled according to committee availability. Robin Bartleman will continue to be co-chair of SNAC as a representative of CSC.

Members approved name change from Special Needs Advisory Committee to Special Needs Advisory Coalition.

Item #5 Workgroup

Updates

Baby SNAC – Presentation tomorrow (Dec. 2nd) at Children’s Strategic Plan Advisory Coalition. The data will reflect that 45% of the children receiving financially assisted childcare do not follow-up with early intervention appointments. Working to streamline the process with ChildNet, FLDRS, CDTC to avoid assessment duplication. TWEEN SNAC – Identified needs within schools and parents. Many parents don’t know about the Medicaid waiver. Important to involve middle school students in the IEP process. Expanding the committee to include people who work with middle schoolers. Looking for providers to facilitate program. A new chair was also selected, Robert Mayersohn, is also the ESE Advisory Chair for the School Board.

Transition to Independence – Facilitated an SSI and Employment parent training at Signature Grand on Nov. 20th. 55 participants registered and 36 attended. Information was well received and well presented. There is great fear and misinformation in the community regarding going to work and the impact on SSI. The perception of possible loss of medical benefits is affecting parents in making the decision for youth employment. The workgroup will be developing strategies to present the right message about SSI. More parent trainings to be presented in the upcoming year.

Possible agenda item for next SNAC meeting: Managed Care Training

ITEM DISCUSSION ACTION FOLLOW-UP

Marketing & Communication – The marketing and legislative groups have been combined. Working to develop a platform to use as a message for Broward Days.
