Executive Summary
The Executive Director of Business Services, on behalf of the Superintendent of Schools, hereby requests the Board approve the agreement with BloomBoard, the job description for Associate Teacher Substitute and the alternative certified teacher support program and expenditures and authorize the purchase of educational services for an estimated annual spending of $225,000.00.

BloomBoard will facilitate the Associate Teacher Substitute students in their state approved apprenticeship program to award a bachelor's degree in elementary education from participating Universities. This is typically a two-year program where the student (our Associate Teacher) will use the skills that are learned with their mentor from Hernando County and their mentor from BloomBoard to show competency for college level credit. The Associate Teacher Substitute will agree to work for HCSB for four years once they are professionally certified.

This purchase is authorized under the DOE Florida Administrative Code 6A-1.012(11)(b) and applicable Florida Statutes for the purchase of educational materials.

The support plan for alternative certified teachers and the associated expenditures outlined in the attached presentation is also a part of this approval. The expenditures for alternative certified teacher support is already budgeted through vacancies.
