Motion to approve the attached interlocal agreement with the Waterford School District for the

ITEM CATEGORY SPONSORED BY
Contract Penny Luebs
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
Michigan Law requires the Waterford School District to provide educational services to the youth
who reside at Children's Village because Children's Village is located within the legal boundaries of
the Waterford School District. Providing a quality education for residents of Children's Village is
required by the State of Michigan, Division of Child Welfare Licensing (DCWL). Oakland County and
the Waterford School District have contracted to ensure a quality education through the provision of
educational and administrative staff by the District, reimbursed by the County. The majority of the
Waterford School District's revenue support for the Children's Village school comes from State Aid.
In order to maintain a quality level of education, the negotiated agreement is proposed for five (5)
school years beginning August 21, 2023, and ending August 20, 2028 with annual budget
amendments to be negotiated no later than February 28th of each year. The budget starting for the
school year 2023-2024 includes an increase by the State of Michigan per pupil from $9,150 to
$9,608, and an increase in funding of $458 per pupil. The projected net costs to the County for the
2023-2024 school year and the 2024-2025 school year are $182,222 and $217,119, both of which
are eligible for 50% reimbursement from the State Child Care Fund. At the end of the school year,
when all student count information has been verified, and all available funding has been applied, a
reconciliation will be completed by the Waterford School District prior to the final invoice submitted
to Children’s Village for that school year.
