October 10, 2016 Board of Directors Meeting 4 of 93 Interim CEO Report Karen Perkins reported on the following items: Ms. Perkins reminded Board members that they must complete and submit the Form 8B Memorandum when they abstain from voting during a Board meeting. Ms. Perkins introduced Abigail Perez, Family Services Coordinator. Ms. Perkins reported that the School Readiness provider contracts were due by June 30, 2016 and the ELCHC received over 800 contracts. The Provider Services staff have answered over 600 phone calls from VPK families, April to June, and was able to provide those families support and direction. Ms. Perkins stated there had been positive feedback about the Provider Portal. The Portal has been beneficial to the providers in helping with the application process. Ms. Perkins stated that school would start during the week and Family Services would be busy issuing VPK certificates. Ms. Perkins reported that Dr. Mary Harper, Bobbie Huard, Theon Salley, and Hannah Goble presented at One Goal Conference, which was held on June 20-22, 2016, in Tampa. Ms. Perkins stated that two of the ELCHC staff members had been invited to present at the National Association of Education of Young Children Annual Conference held in Los Angeles, California. Ms. Perkins informed the Board of the auto-termination of 8,575 VPK children was a large hurdle and one that slowed down the reimbursement process but did not delay payment to VPK providers. The Office of Early Learning was able to recover the data and the School District has revised their procedures to prevent auto-termination of VPK children in the future. Mary Hancock requested that emails through MIP for VPK payments display ELCHC in the subject line to help providers make the connection. Steve Costner indicated that such change would be implemented as soon as possible.
