RE:

Approval of School Health Nursing Services Contract

The Guilford County Department of Public Health and Guilford County Schools have maintained a contractual agreement for school nursing services. The contract is inclusive of providing nursing services to the elementary, middle, and high schools as well as compensation for salaries of five school nurses.  The contract is renewed yearly and the 2010-11 contract requests payment in the amount of $292,011. The contract amount for 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 was $286,961. The health department has noted that the $5,050 increase is due to the state’s increase in retirement. 

RECOMMENDATION:  The administration recommends that the Board approve the contractual agreement with The Guilford County Department of Public Health to provide nursing services as well as compensation for salaries for five school nurses in the amount of $292,011.
