Summary: Staff is requesting an increase in the purchase order for the contract between MDUSD and Maxim Healthcare Services for the 2014-2015 school year. The Board approved the Maxim Healthcare Services Master Contract on August 13, 2014.

Since the purchase order requested was initiated in August, additional students were added to the caseload, while other students' medical needs increased. Currently, this contract covers the nursing needs for students who are receiving services at different schools, two of which are county schools. The health conditions and needs of these students include: muscular dystrophy, seizures, mitochondrial defect and tube feedings.

Some of the placements require nurses to ride the bus with the students, thereby increasing the hours of service. Additionally, these nurses also provide support to our medically fragile students when they participate in after-school activities and school dances.

The current contract for $125,350.00 needs to be increased by $329,650.00 to a total of $455,000.00.
Funding: $329,650.00, Program Code 1218.
Fiscal Impact The total impact is $455,000.00 and is already a budgeted expense for the 2014-2015 school year.
Recommendation: Approve the contract increase with Maxim Healthcare for nursing services.
