Orange County Schools and Chapel Hill - Carrboro City Schools: The OCRCC maintains an annual Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with OCS and CHCCS outlining responsibilities of both parties for program delivery, parent communication, and follow -up protocol with students who raise concerns during or immediately following a program. • Compass Center for Women & Families: The OCRCC collaborates with Compass to provide joint programming in the Start Strong program. The OCRCC provides 7th and 9th grade programs, and Compass provides 6th and 8th grade programs. We work together to ensure content and evaluation coherence. Department of Social Services: The OCRCC regularly refers families of students who raise concerns during classroom programs to DSS for follow -up services and intervention if needed. • The OCRCC also offers programming by request to a number of independent schools, community groups, professional organizations, faith communities, and others, h) Describe what would happen if requested funding is not awarded at all or if a reduced allocation is recommended. Without funding from local governments, we would not be able to provide a large number of safety education programs to our community. With only two full -time and one part-time staff members, we are already stretched beyond capacity and often have to decline program requests. In FY14 -15, the OCRCC provided a total of 898 programs to 13,614 people. More than 80% of programs were delivered to pre -K through grade 12 students. Additionally, education staff worked more closely than ever with client services staff to deliver community -wide education opportunities, bringing customized programs to faith communities, neighborhoods and families across the county. Altogether, local government grants comprise about 10% of our budget. i) Include any other pertinent information. The following comment from a parent was posted on Facebook and is shared with permission: "I wanted to let the community and the administration know HOW MUCH 1 appreciate the Safe Touch education program that the school implemented this past month. The fact that the administration and faculty made this a priority speaks volumes about putting the safety of our children first. I feel such gratitude that my children are in a safe place.... Thank you from the bottom of my heart to whomever made this happen in our school!" Main Application 1/25/2016 12:55:42 PM P a g e 1 9 of 3 2
