 Description:

12PLUS has provided individualized and school-wide post-secondary, academic, and mentoring support services for Grades 9-12 at Kensington High School (KHS), Penn Treaty School (PT), and Hill-Freedman World Academy (HFWA). Additional career and college resources are provided through fully-staffed 12PLUS Centers that have been established within Kensington High School, Penn Treaty School, and Hill-Freedman World Academy. Monthly events are held to promote a school-wide college-going culture, increase interest in career related fields, and celebrate student achievements. 12PLUS will continue to partner with school faculty and administration to provide ongoing academic and behavioral monitoring for the entire student bodies of KHS, PT, and HFWA.  This amendment request is to seek authorization to pay additional amounts to 12PLUS for work during the renewal years of the agreement. The two 1-year renewals were initially authorized without compensation due to an oversight in the original Action Item submission.
