Board Priority/ B, C — 1, 3, 4

District Goal:

The Region VI Education Service Center provides services to all districts within Region VI. For some services, school districts must pay a fee in order to participate. CSISD would like to contract with Region VI in the following areas:

• Title I Services ($6,500 paid from CSISD Title I entitlement)

• Bilingual/ESL Services (Approximately $4,500 from local funds)
• Migrant Program (Migrant Entitlement: Flow Though Money)
• Parent Involvement Services ($500 paid from local funds)
• Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities Services (No Cost)
• Safe Schools Alliance ($3,000 paid from Title IV)
• Certification Co-op Services ($750 paid from local funds)
• Alternative Teacher Certification Program ($600 per intern teacher)
• Driver Education Services ($290 per student, paid by students)
• Purchasing Cooperative ($100 paid from local funds)

By allowing CSISD to contract with Region VI, CSISD personnel will be able to consult with experts from Region VI and to take advantage of services that are offered. Participation with Region VI helps to provide CSISD administrators and teachers the necessary information so that our resources and services can be maximized

It is recommended that the CSISD School Board approve the contracted agreements with Region VI ESC as presented.
