Consent Agenda Subject 3.01 School Health Services Plan for 2024-2026, Hillsborough County (Student Support and Federal Programs) Meeting Oct 1, 2024 - Regular School Board Meeting Type Action (Consent) Recommended Action Approve the School Health Services Plan for 2024-2026, Hillsborough County. Goals Exceptional Talent Academic Excellence DESCRIPTION : The School Health Services Plan outlines how Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) and the State of Florida, Department of Health (FLDOH), Hillsborough County will meet federal and state mandates. The submission of the 2024-2026 School Health Services Plan is required by Section 381.0056, F.S. which indicates how each local Department of Health will develop jointly, with their respective local school district, a School Health Services Plan outlining the provisions and responsibilities to provide mandated health services in all public schools. Chapter 64F6.002, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) requires the plan to be completed bi-annually. It is the practice of the FLDOH to be the final signature on the School Health Services Plan. GAP ANALYSIS : There are 14,224 uninsured children in Hillsborough County. Based on emergency card information, there are 78,750 students with acute and chronic medical conditions, which make up 35 percent of the HCPS student population. According to the Centers for Disease Control ( CDC), uninsured and chronically ill children are more likely to miss school. When students do not attend school regularly, they are less likely to graduate. School Nurses/Registered Nurses (RNs) and Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) play a critical role in keeping children with chronic illnesses in school. PREVIOUS OUTCOMES: According to the CDC, students with acute and chronic medical conditions have poor health when not properly managed by a school nurse or do not have access to health care. In turn, they will have an increase in school absenteeism and dropout rates, which will negatively affect school grades. School Nurses/RNs, APRNs, and pediatricians returned 91 percent of students seen in the schools' clinics back to class during the 2023-2024 school year. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: Funding from the state allows HCPS to hire School Nurses/RNs, APRNs, and a pediatrician. School health providers will manage students with acute and chronic diseases while in school with parental consent. This, in turn, will allow for access to health services resulting in optimal student learning and improve school attendance, with the expectation of returning 100 percent of students seen in the clinic back to class. In accordance with HCPS policies and procedures, every effort will be made to notify the legal parent, guardian, or caregiver, when it has been determined that a student may need to be removed from a school site, school transportation, and/or school-sponsored activity and taken to a receiving facility for an involuntary examination or emergency. Parental consent is required for physical examination or health care services that may require a prescription. There is an opt-out form for a parent or guardian to exclude their child from health services. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the School Health Services Plan for 2024-2026, Hillsborough County.

Consent Agenda Subject 7.02 Invitation to Bid (ITB) 24166-ITB-DST Yellow Bus and White Fleet Tire Purchase, Retreads, Mounting and Other Services (Operations) Meeting Oct 1, 2024 - Regular School Board Meeting Type Action (Consent) Recommended Action Approve ITB 24166-ITB-DST yellow bus and white fleet tire purchase, retreads, mounting and other services. Goals Fiscal and Operational Responsibility DESCRIPTION : On July 15, 2024, Transportation Services in conjunction with the Procurement Department issued a competitive solicitation for tire purchase, retread, mounting and other service for the district's yellow bus fleet, white fleet or support fleet. Services include balancing, mounting, repair and roadside assistance. This agreement is valid for 1 year with four, 1-year optional renewals. There is a 30 day termination for convenience clause in the agreement. The agreement will be reviewed and evaluated annually. The Superintendent is authorized to renew this agreement, per the terms and conditions. In the past Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) yellow bus fleet consisted of 1,400 yellow buses, over the past three years due to drivers' shortage HCPS reduced the yellow bus fleet to 1,058 yellow buses and sold older buses. HCPS was able to operate a yellow bus fleet of 1,058 buses which transport over 80,000 students daily with over 840 routes. The increase in new drivers requires more HCPS buses being used to transport students, therefore three hundred (300) new buses and forty (40) Electric buses will be added to the fleet, this will increase HCPS fleet to its past yellow bus fleet of 1,400 buses. Transportation uses about 7,200 tires for the yellow bus, 716 White Fleet Vehicles and Trailers, using over 500 tires. GAP ANALYSIS : Hillsborough County Public Schools requires vendors for the provision of tires, retread, mounting and other services throughout the district. PREVIOUS OUTCOMES: Agreement for the required goods and services has been successfully implemented during the previous years. EXP E CTED OUTCOMES: Upon approval, the district requires the vendor to provide the requested goods and services according to the terms and conditions listed in the agreement.
