appropriate School staff. This is the same methodology currently in place between the Orange <br />County Department of Social Services and the UNC Hospitals for the employment of Medicaid <br />workers. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Department of Social Services will bill Medicaid when the client and <br />service meet the eligibility requirements. All other costs for the positions will be billed to the <br />Orange County Schools system. The Orange County Schools system will pay these costs from <br />funds already available in the approved budget. No additional County funds are being <br />requested. Orange County Schools also recognizes that this pass-through, contractual <br />arrangement does not represent an increase in their continuing budget as far as state <br />prescribed per pupil funding is concerned. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board accept the <br />recommendation of the Social Services Board and renew the contract for eight permanent full <br />time social worker positions and supervision to be funded through the contract and contingent <br />on the continuation of the contract funding, and authorize the Chair to sign the contract. <br />
