Request: It is requested that the Board of Education approve the purchase of six (6) modular buildings from Mobile Modular Management Corporation to support the School Based Health Clinic program for an amount not to exceed $3,761,097.50. The modular buildings will be placed at Flat Rock ES, Indian Creek ES, Oak View ES, Browns Mill ES, Pine Ridge ES, and Pleasantdale ES.
Why: To approve the purchase of six (6) modular buildings to support the School Based Health Clinic program.
Details: The proposed modular buildings will be used to support the DCSD School Based Health Clinic initiative. The intent of the initiative is to increase students’ access to quality health care, improve academic achievement by decreasing absences related to illnesses, improve the overall health of students, and increase community collaboration.
In 2015, Partners for Equity in Child and Adolescent Health (Partners), formerly known as the Urban Health Program, established a framework to “enhance the well-being of Georgia’s children by increasing access to healthcare and improving the delivery of healthcare to underserved children and adolescents throughout the state.” Under the Partners’ program, the number of SCBCs increased from 2 to 48 since 2013.
Voices for Georgia’s Children compiled a comprehensive overview of information regarding school-based health centers in Georgia. Their review describes the problem of access to quality health care, benefits of school-based centers, cost-saving information, and school successes in Georgia. Overall results indicated that school-based health centers improve outcomes for students by improving their academic achievements.
The schools will monitor the absenteeism of students with chronic illnesses to determine the level of effectiveness of the school-based health center.
On June 23, 2020, E&I Cooperative Services issued an RFP for Modular Buildings, Installation, Removal, Storage Units, Supplies and Services (Modular Buildings). Mobile Modular Management Corporation was awarded a five (5) year agreement effective November 1, 2020, to October 31, 2025, No. CNR01522. On May 17, 2021, the DeKalb County Board of Education entered into that certain Member Specific Agreement to Master Agreement CNR01522 with an initial one (1) year term and four (4) one-year option renewal periods. The Board has authorized its renewal option for the Member Specific Agreement under the same terms as the initial term which remains in effect.
