| BACKGROUND: |
Pursuant to Chapter 39, Florida Statutes, the Department of Health, in conjunction with other state agencies, coordinates the services of Child Protection Teams in each service district throughout the state. The Department designated Gulf Coast Kid's House, Inc., as the Child Protection Team (CPT) provider serving Escambia County, effective February 17, 2017. As a designated CPT provider, Gulf Coast Kid's House, Inc., is required to perform medical examinations of allegedly abused, abandoned, or neglected children; and pursuant to FS 39.304(5), the county in which the subject child is a resident bears the cost of such medical examinations.
For the beginning of Fiscal Year 2016-2017, Northwest Florida Comprehensive Services for Children, Inc., (90 Works) was the Department of Health CPT designated provider. Effective February 17, 2017, the Agreement with 90 Works was terminated and Gulf Coast Kid's House, Inc., became the new contract holder for the Children's Medical Services Protection Team. 90 Works has returned all unspent Fiscal Year 2016-2017 allocations. Upon Board approval, the remaining funds will be allocated to Gulf Coast Kid's House, Inc., for the continued medical exams of allegedly abused, abandoned, or neglected children at a rate of $300 per exam for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2016-2017. |
