STAFF AND COMMITTEE REPORTS 3RD QUARTER PROGRAM UPDATE T. Dixon reported on the following:
Coalition Activities:
• OEL is in the process of combining all the coalitions’ responses for the Auditor General’s review that began April 20, 2015. For our coalition, we had a few findings in payment validations that were corrected immediately. And our coalition (along with the others) had a finding regarding verification of provider worker’s compensation and reemployment insurances coverages. OEL is disputing these findings as the date for required verification (monitoring) of this practice was after the time period of this review. (The statewide provider contract monitoring tool was promulgated July 1, 2015.) We will bring final results to the board when we have them. • The annual OEL/CRI fiscal review took place on-site February 29 – March 3, 2016. From this review, there were two findings regarding required federal/state vendor contract provisions and one finding regarding the required use of the OEL logo and statement of sponsorship. All items were corrected immediately as well as preventative steps put into place to prevent reoccurrences. • Part 1 of Cross training for the OEL monthly invoice began with Patty instructing Tajaro on the process. Part 2 will be actually processing the invoice either in June or July. • Other cross training that took place was Kim being trained on the secondary review of the monthly ECS invoice, and there are plans for Kim to receive more training on vendor contracts. OEL is in the process of creating contract checklists per the most current regulations.
Programmatic:
ECS On-Site Monitoring: • The 2015/2016 Second Quarter Monitoring was performed January 25 – February 5, 2016. This monitoring included all OEL required elements and the tracking of goals and outcomes for SR Plan Element “Inclusion”. From this monitoring there was one compliance issue (regarding sales tax paid on per diem meal expense) and nine training issues - all of which were minor in nature and extremely low rates of occurrence. All monitoring issues were resolved completely (errors fixed and staff training given) before the final report. • The 2015/2016 Third Quarter Monitoring is scheduled for April 25 – May 6, 2016. This monitoring is currently in the Draft Report stage, so the Final Report summary will be given on the next quarterly program report. • The 2015/2016 Fourth Quarter Monitoring is scheduled for July 25 – August 5, 2016.
Board Meeting June 15, 2016
ALL full reports are available upon request. 3RD QUARTER EARLY LITERACY REPORT J. Whitson reported on the following items: Highlights: Ferst Foundation for Childhood Literacy – Began the process of starting a literacy book program in Nassau County through the Ferst Foundation. We will start enrolling school readiness children in July. Each month the child will receive a book in the mail until their 5th birthday. Volunteer of the Year – ELC Reading Pal volunteer Sara Tavender was honored at the annual Retired Senior Volunteer Program luncheon in March as the Reading Pal of the year for 2016. ELC Early Educators Conference – Was held on January 30th 2016, Thrasher Horne Center in Orange Park. 300 attendees. The Preschool Teacher of the Year Zoe Messer from Ivy League Academy in Fleming Island was honored at this event. Literacy Outreach: Florida Literacy Week Simultaneous Reading Event – January 27 - State wide reading event where all child care centers and preschools are asked to read the same two books on the same day at the same time. We encouraged all providers to participate. Those that attended the conference received this year’s two books and packet of activities to go with them. Reading with Ronald – During February a Reading with Ronald McDonald program was held in each of our six counties in conjunction with Children’s Week in Tallahassee. 775 attended these programs and the ELC provided a free book for each child attending. Dr. Seuss Week – During the first week of March in celebration of Dr. Seuss’s birthday 8 different Dr. Seuss themed literacy programs were put on in area Child Care Centers by ELC staff and volunteers. The centers were chosen by a random drawing at the Early Educators Conference. Special guest The Cat in the Hat made an appearance and gave each child a free Dr. Seuss book. Each teacher received an assorted bag of Dr. Seuss books for their classroom. Free Little Libraries – A free little library is a stand-alone structure that serves as lending library where people can “leave a book and take a book” This is a nationwide movement to increase the availability for people to receive books. We gave away nine little libraries to providers who were selected from applications they sent in. Each library came with $200 worth of books to get them started. Check out www.freelittlelibrary.com to find out more and see pictures. J. Whitson showed a power point highlighting the Reading Pals Program Reading Pals Impact Report – (See Reading Pals Program Impact Feature attached)
48 Child Care Providers in three counties receiving the benefit of a reading pal 61 readers giving back, feeling fulfilled and making an impact
Board Meeting June 15, 2016
The following are emails and stories shared recently by current reading pals or from staff where they read:
• Juanita Hargrove – Reading Pal at Aurora’s Club House in Orange Park. This program is the best ever! I am loving the puppets and animals, as well as lively colored, different action books; with a granny prospective they may or may not relate to. The training sessions provided, when I can make them are the best. It is important to share what is going on in our county and reading about the great need across America. It is a privilege to share the love of books and reading with these children. I find even the teachers enjoy the reading time. It gives them a break from their busy day with very active kids. The children love the attention they are allowed by me even if just for a short time. I have decided to be Mother Goose for VPK via an old Mother Goose I have had for years. My own children learned from this book and it warms my heart to see these new young children learning from it as well.
Our best asset is the enthusiasm of leadership, love of good books and the time spent in fulfilling such. Reading pals is a great program for volunteers of all walks of life and it is a great way to use our talents. I cannot express the great thrill of being included. To make a different in today’s world each and every time I go and read. I find this program a long and overdue one for our nation. This program has kept me abreast on the latest children’s books which has helped me with my own grandchildren who are the same age as the 3-5 year old children I read too. I thank God for the VPK program in Florida and believe it needs to be in every state in America. Hats off to both professionals and volunteers coming together to make the difference needed in these days.
• Ellen Prest – Reading Pal at O.P.K. Inc. in Orange Park We just arrived home this evening from Chicago and our new grandson, Henry. This card and note were in the mail. This 3 year old told me he had a card for me - on our last day - but he got busy and I didn't ask him to go and get it. The OPK staff sent it on. He always stayed back to read more when the others went to play. We read outside 98% of the time in All types of weather. We enjoyed the flowers the 4 year old classes gave to us and the gift card for dinner on-the-road for our trip. More blessings that we ever expected. Thanks. Ellen (card will be passed around at board meeting)
• Wendy Haynes – Director Living Waters Preschool in Switzerland We just wanted to thank you again for sending Linda and Charles Oates our way to be our librarians for the two and three year old kiddos that come to school on Thursdays. It's hard to believe that another year has gone by! We have let Linda and Charles know that we hope they will return to us next year. They have said that they love us too! I just wanted to communicate with you that this arrangement has been the perfect match. I wasn't sure if you needed to have this information, but I wanted to be sure that you knew what a great job Linda and Charles have done. We consider them part of our preschool family and would love to have them work with us as long as they would like.
Board Meeting June 15, 2016
When you see them next, please tell them that we are so appreciative of all of the time they obviously spend on the library lessons and all of the wonderful gifts they bring to the children from the tangible to the intangible. Thanks, Wendy Haynes
• Victoria Sharp – Reading Pal at Stay-N-Play in San Mateo Hi Joan, I am leaving June 6 for Maine and will be gone until the end of October. Folks at Stay and Play are aware I will be away and my last day of reading for them will be tomorrow. I will stay in touch and would like to continue as a reader when I return. I love reading to the children and they seem to like it as well. I have found a great source for children's books- Goodwill. The books are 3 for $1.00. I have gotten some beautifully illustrated hard and paperback editions of classics such as: Where the Wild Things Are, Skippyjohn Jones and Curious George. Due to the never ending supply of books at Goodwill I am able to leave the books at Stay and Play for the children in their classroom. I have seen them run to the book rack to re-read the books and look at the pictures. Very satisfying for me and fun for them. Another thing I did was I bought some old golden Books on 45’s (RPM records). I purchased an old style photograph and we had a ball listening, reading and everyone got a turn to operate the record player. I must admit I get bewildered with current happenings in the U.S as well as around the globe. I hope if I can help a few children to learn to love books and reading perhaps I can make a positive impact for their future. Have a great summer, Vicky
• Sara Goldman – Teacher at Family Partners in St. Augustine I wanted to share with you how proud we are that Sara Tavender is winning the reading pal of the year award this year. She is so deserving of this award. Sara has been reading at our center for four years now. I have been the teacher in the VPK class she reads in for two of those years. I personally have learned a lot from Miss Sara as I am a new teacher and she has many years of experience working with preschoolers. She is always encouraging me and says just the right thing when days are tough. She works close with me on picking books that go with our classroom themes then on top of that she comes up with fantastic activities to do with them each week. She works in small groups and has completed three classroom books that she helped the children create this year. They are proudly on display on our book shelf. She takes time to learn all the children’s names and she works with them on writing not only their own names but their classmates. She truly is an asset to our classroom. Sincerely, Sara Goldman

AND, As the Coalition has been satisfied with Episcopal Children’s services (ECS) delivery of services in contract year 2015/2016 (and all applicable prior years), the Coalition will continue contracting with ECS for 2016/2017. T. Dixon mentioned these very important items as the ECS contract is a “related party contract” and as such the requirements are:
Board Meeting June 15, 2016
• Any related party has to disclose their conflict to the board and complete the conflict of interest form.
• We (the ELC) are notifying the board that Connie Stophel is a ‘related party’ as she has a statutorily-required voting seat on the board and is ALSO the C.E.O. of Episcopal Children’s Services.
• As she has a conflict, she has completed the form “8B”. And if she were present, she would not be allowed to have discussion or participate in the vote on this item (contract).
• Because this is a related party contract, we must have 2/3 vote (of the entire board) approval of the contract before we can send it to OEL for approval.
• The contract will not be executed (signed by both parties) until the ELC receives OEL approval.
• The minutes from this meeting will reflect that these requirements were disclosed to you and will reflect the individual votes.

MEMORANDUM
To: All Board Members From: Tajaro Dixon, Grants and Operations Manager Date: August 22, 2016 Subject: 2015/2016 Fourth Quarter Program Update and Quality Assurance Activities
Coalition Activities:
The Auditor General’s review that began April 20, 2015 released their final report May 2016. For our coalition, we had a finding regarding a family income calculation and findings regarding SR and VPK Provider payment validations. These findings were corrected immediately. Our coalition (along with all the others sampled) had a finding regarding verification of provider reemployment insurance coverage. OEL was originally going to dispute the reemployment insurance verification finding for all coalitions, but later decided not to dispute this particular finding. Part 1 of Cross training for the OEL monthly invoice began in third quarter, with Patty instructing Tajaro on the process. Part 2 will be actually processing the invoice and is currently scheduled for mid-September. Coalition and ECS staff attended OEL webinars on CCDF (Child Care Development Fund – Federal funder) changes effective July 1, 2016 regarding School Readiness 12 month eligibilities. OEL Accountability Review began on-site June 20, 2016. Our exit conference call is scheduled for around the date of August 29, 2016. Successfully executed the ECS 16/17 Primary Service Provider contract (first time with ‘related party’ requirements per OEL), following this year’s RFP.
Programmatic:
ECS On-Site Monitoring: o The 2015/2016 Third Quarter Monitoring was performed April 25 – May 6, 2016. This monitoring included all OEL required “eligibility” criteria. From this monitoring there were two compliance issues (unallowable expenses, and PAR’s/time sheet approvals) and nine training issues - all of which were minor in nature and extremely low rates of occurrence. All monitoring issues were resolved completely (errors fixed and staff training given) by the time of ECS’s response to the final report. o The 2015/2016 Fourth Quarter Monitoring was performed July 25 – August 5, 2016 and is scheduled to be concluded September 9, 2016. The Final Report summary will be given on the next quarterly program report.
ALL full reports are available upon request.

B. CERTIFICATION REGARDING DEBARMENT, SUSPENSION, AND OTHER RESPONSIBILITY
MATTERS – PRIMARY COVERED TRANSACTION. As required by E.O.(s) 12549 and 12689, Debarment and Suspension, and implemented at 45 CFR Part
85, Government wide Debarment and Suspension (Nonprocurement) for prospective participants in primary covered transactions, no contract shall be made to parties the General Services Administration’s

regulatory authority other than E.O. 12549. Contracts with awards that exceed the small purchase threshold shall provide the required certification regarding their exclusion status and that of their
principal employees.
The federal government imposes this requirement in order to protect the public interest, and to ensure
that only responsible organizations and individuals do business with the government and receive and spend government grant funds. Failure to adhere to those requirements may have serious
consequences (e.g., disallowance of cost, termination of project or debarment). To assure that this requirement is met, there are four options for obtaining satisfaction that CONTRACTORS are not
suspended, debarred or disqualified. The CONTRACTOR through the duly appointed undersigned
representative, certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that it, its principals or its officers-

Department of Health.
2. Have not, within a three-year period preceding the CONTRACT, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with
obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (federal, state, or local) transaction or
CONTRACT under a public transaction; violation of federal or state antitrust statutes or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false
statements, or receiving stolen property.
3. Are not presently indicted or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a government entity (federal,
state or local) with commission of any of the offenses enumerated in this certification’s paragraph B.2.
4. Have not, within a three-year period preceding the CONTRACT, had one or more public transactions
(federal, state, or local) terminated for cause or default.

certification, such prospective CONTRACTOR shall attach an explanation to the CONTRACT.

Early Learning Coalition of North Florida, Inc. Annual Board Meeting 09/21/2016
ACTION ITEM SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION ELCNF 2016-2017 Budget Proposal – Revision #1 Reason for Recommended Action The Coalition received the Notice of Award dated July 1, 2016
for the School Readiness Services, the Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten Services, the Outreach and Awareness and Monitoring Initiative and the Performance Funding Project. The Coalition’s Administrative Budget has been amended to utilize the amounts specified in the Notice of Awards received by the Office of Early Learning If this is not done, the following would occur:
• The Coalition budget would not match the 2016/2017 fund allocations from the State, and would therefore not be accurate as to the funds available to spend for 2016-2017.
• The Coalition will be at risk of potential questioned costs due to noncompliance with state statutes.
How the Action will be accomplished 2016-2017 Revised budget will be presented to the Board on
September 21, 2016 for approval.

Approval of the Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual revisions listed above.
Early Learning Coalition of North Florida, Inc.
HR204 Employment Reference/Criminal History Checks Effective Date: 02/19/08 Revision Date: 04/07/10, 02/02/11, 08/03/11, 06/06/12, 08/24/12, 02/12/13, 04/03/13, 11/05/14, 03/16/16, 09/21/16 The Coalition will conduct reference and criminal history checks on all prospective and current employees, as well as volunteers, as outlined within this policy. QUALIFIED ENTITY A “qualified entity”, as defined in s. 943.0542, F.S., means a business or organization, whether public, private, operated for profit, operated not-for-profit or voluntary, that provides care or care placement services, including a business or organization that licenses or certifies others to provide care or care placement services. The Coalition is a qualified entity and therefore is registered with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). The Coalition requires any sub-recipient, contractor, or subcontractor it retains that also meets the definition of qualified entity to likewise register and have all of the employees it assigns to work under agreement screened in a manner consistent with s. 943.0542, F.S. For monitoring and audit purposes, the Coalition maintains on file verification for all Coalition personnel and any sub-recipient or contractor’s personnel per the guidelines of the OEL Grant Agreement current during the time of background screening processing. REFERENCES/CREDENTIALS The Coalition will verify (for all employees and volunteers) where applicable; clear background screenings, educational and professional credentials, and employment history/references prior to the first day of employment/assignment. The Coalition will verify the highest level of education claimed (if the position requires), applicable professional licenses claimed (if position requires), and employment history (if position requires) for Coalition staff AND for Qualified Entities that are subrecipients/subcontractors and their staff. Documentation of these verifications will be maintained by the Coalition. CRIMINAL BACKGROUND SCREENING PROCEDURE 1. As applicable, the potential or current employee (or volunteer) must have a criminal background check processed prior to the first day of employment (or volunteer work), and screened in a manner consistent with Section 943.0542, F.S. The Coalition shall arrange for and pay all costs for the background screenings. If appropriate, the applicant and employee must meet criteria for background screening as required for child care personnel in child care licensing regulations. 2. The personnel staff will complete and submit the appropriate paperwork for the criminal
1 Early Learning Coalition of North Florida
Personnel Policies and Procedures
background check and other necessary paperwork as required by the Department of Children and Families upon employment and (at a minimum of) every five (5) years thereafter. The following paperwork may be included:
a. Affidavit of Good Moral Character – All candidates must complete this form and have it notarized before employment. This form is available from the Department of Children and Families (DCF) District Screening Office. Human Resources will stress to the candidate the importance of this requirement and ensure that the candidate clearly understands it.
b. Local Criminal Records – The personnel staff will complete the Request for a Local Law Enforcement Check and send it to the sheriff office in Baker, Bradford, Clay, Nassau, Putnam, and/or St. Johns counties.
c. Employment History/Reference Checks – Conducted by the personnel staff, these checks should cover a two-year period preceding employment in the screened position and should exclude periods of unemployment. The potential applicant and current employee may be subject to additional background reviews depending upon their job specifics.
d. State and Federal Criminal Records – The Coalition’s personnel staff will instruct the candidate (or employee) to complete a “Live Scan” of their fingerprints with a vendor approved by the Coalition, to be sent to the FDLE (Florida Department of Law Enforcement) and the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) for clearances. Effective July 1, 2012 all new employees will be screened, unless they have a current DCF clearance under five (5) years old and have had no break in service (or break in service under 90 days). Also effective July 1, 2012 all current employees will be re-screened (at time of prior to the five-year renewal from anniversary date of the last screening).
NOTE: The full background screening may not be necessary for candidates transferring from another employer where he/she was screened, or for candidates who have had their fingerprints taken and processed by a Florida public school board provided that in either case there has not been more than a 90-day break in service. 3. Volunteers and Board Members Any volunteer who will have contact with children 10 hours per month or MORE is required to have a Level II screening. Volunteers may only be approved for assignments once the background checks have been received and are clear. Volunteers still in service after five (5) years will be re-screened. All potential and current volunteers (including board members) who will have contact with children on an intermittent basis (LESS than 10 hours per month) are NOT required to be background screened as long as a person who meets the Level II background screening requirements (as set forth in s. 435.04, F.S) has the volunteer in his or her line of sight during any interaction with children (per 2012/2013 Grants Agreement section (45)(a) and e-mail correspondence from Kathy Summers, OEL Business Analyst dated 02/27/13 with OEL Memorandum dated November 19, 2012 “Background Screening Follow-Up Guidance”). Reading Pals Although not required, the Coalition may process Level I screenings for volunteers of its “Reading Pals” program. The Coalition also ensures that the volunteers do not meet or exceed 10 hours per month contact with children. Reading Pal volunteers complete the Coalition’s Volunteer Application and Affidavit of Good Moral Character. Upon completion, the Coalition personnel staff submits a request to the local county Sheriff’s Office (of the volunteer’s place of residence) for a local criminal background check. Also, the Coalition personnel staff performs a database search on the Dru Sjodin National Sex
2 Early Learning Coalition of North Florida
Personnel Policies and Procedures
Offender Public Website (www.nsopw.gov/Core/Portal.aspx), and the FDLE sexual offender/predator search website. 4. The personnel staff will track receipt of the local and FDLE criminal history checks results. When the results are received, the personnel staff will input the records into the applicant’s/employee’s personnel file and will track and monitor the 5-year re-screening dates. 5. If the local law check or FDLE transaction listing on the applicant/employee are returned with any charges, the C.E.O. will review the charge(s). Additional information, such as disposition, should be requested from the applicant/employee and reviewed regarding the charge(s). The applicant/employee should be advised both by telephone and in writing of the needed documentation, and should be given a deadline to submit the paperwork. If it is a current employee, and the employee needs any time off to obtain documentation, the C.E.O. will notify the supervisor of the needed time. (The nature of the need for time off, including charges should be kept confidential and not shared with the Supervisor.) 6. Where applicable, the C.E.O. or designee will determine if the applicant/employee is disqualified from employment based on Section 435.03 and 435.04, Florida Statutes which lists what disqualifies a person from being employed as a caretaker. Assistance should be requested from DCF to make this determination. If the applicant/employee has committed an offense listed on the Good Moral Character Affidavit/Attestation, they may be considered disqualified for hire and may be terminated or placed in a position for which background screening is not required. Exemptions from such disqualification may be taken into consideration on a case-by-case basis. 7. If the applicant/employee is disqualified due to his/her criminal background check results, the C.E.O. or designee will follow appropriate procedures for notifying the applicant/employee in compliance with Department of Children & Families. A copy of the notification letter must also be sent to DCF along with the transaction listing and any associated court documents received. If the applicant/employee is disqualified due to federal (FBI) results, DCF will notify the Coalition. The Coalition must then immediately remove the employee from a caretaker position his/her assignment, if applicable, and notify DCF within 5 days. 8. The personnel staff will maintain the Affidavit/Attestation of Good Moral Character, results of local, FDLE and federal (FBI) criminal history information and other related correspondence, and the employment history checks in the applicant’s/employee's personnel file. This file will be kept in a secured area to ensure confidentiality. 9. Each employee (or volunteer) is required to notify the Coalition immediately or the next business day of being arrested for any criminal offense. The Coalition will review the alleged offense, determine if the offense is one that would exclude the employee (or volunteer) under either the level I or level II background screenings (whichever is applicable), and if so remove the employee (or volunteer) from their assignment/position. The employee (or volunteer) may not return to their work until cleared of all charges.

HR604 Drug and Alcohol Use/Drug Free Workplace Effective Date: 02/19/08 Revision Date: 11/05/14, 09/21/16
It is the Coalition's desire to provide a drug-free, healthful, and safe workplace. To promote this goal, employees are required to report to work in appropriate mental and physical condition to perform their jobs in a satisfactory manner.
While on the Coalition premises and while conducting business-related activities off the Coalition premises, no employee will use, possess, distribute, sell, or be under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs. The legal use of prescribed drugs is permitted on the job only if it does not impair an employee's ability to perform the essential functions of the job effectively and in a safe manner that does not endanger other individuals in the workplace.
NOTIFICATION TO ALL EMPLOYEES:
The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of controlled substance is prohibited in all Coalition workplaces. As a condition of employment, all employees will abide by the terms of this statement.
Violations of this policy will lead to disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination of employment or required participation in a Coalition approved substance abuse rehabilitation or treatment program. Such violations may also have legal consequences.
To be a Coalition approved program, the program must have been federal, state or local, health, law enforcement or other appropriate agency approved for such purposes. A listing of all Coalition approved available drug counseling, rehabilitation and/or employee assistance programs is posted to the company share drive and is available to all Coalition employees at any time. This listing is located in the “Drug Free Workplace” folder. In addition, it can be requested at any time.
Under the Drug-Free Workplace Act, an employee who performs work for a government contract or grant must notify the Coalition in writing of a criminal conviction for drug-related activity occurring in the workplace. The report must be made within five days of the conviction.
Employees with questions on this policy or issues related to drug or alcohol use in the workplace should raise their concerns with their supervisor or the C.E.O. without fear of reprisal.

OP204 - Public Records Request, added redaction processes to end of policy, post OEL Bi-annual Accountability Review (Management Addendum)
If this is not done, the following would occur:
• The Coalition’s Operational Policy would not be updated and compliant with OEL requirements.
How the Action will be accomplished Approval of the revisions listed above.
Early Learning Coalition of North Florida, Inc.
OP204 Public Records Request Effective Date: 07/20/11 Revision Date: 03/16/16, 09/21/16 Public Access to Information/Documentation The Coalition adheres to the following procedures in order to comply with public disclosure requirements: 1. It is preferable that all requests for Coalition records must be in writing, but not required.
2. The Coalition is only required to provide records that it maintains. The Coalition is not required
to generate new forms or records if the requested information is not already part of records made or received as part of its operations.
3. If an exempt record is requested, the Coalition must state/document the basis for its refusal to release the requested exempt record.
4. Public records include any hard copy or electronic copies of records made or received by any public agency in the course of its official business. Records such as policies, program results, computer records, emails, Face Book and text messages are all available for inspection unless specifically exempted in state statute.
5. The Coalition maintains public records of vital, permanent, or archival files safeguarded (i.e., in fireproof and waterproof safes, vaults, or rooms fitted with noncombustible materials) and easily accessible when records are retained in the Coalition’s offices or stored offsite.
6. To protect individuals’ right to privacy and to prevent identity theft, all applicable documentation will redacted to obscure/remove personally identifiable information (P.I.I.) prior to review or release of such records. The redaction will be done per the Coalition’s processes at the end of this policy.
7. Public records may be inspected by any person desiring to do so, if available staffing and hours of operation allow. This review of records will be supervised by the custodian of the public records (F.S. 119.07 (1) (a)). If staffing levels and hours of operation do not allow for this at the time of request, an alternate date and time will be arranged immediately.
8. For all requests for copies of documents, the Coalition shall require prepayment of all copying and shipping charges. For requests that are received without prepayment, the Coalition will notify the requester of this policy via phone call, letter, or e-mail within five (5) business days of receipt of the original request.
9. The copying cost charged for providing copies of requested documents shall be $0.15 for each one-sided copy and $0.20 for each two-sided copy (costs per F.S. 119.07). All copies shall be shipped to requesters via Priority Mail, thus, shipping charges will be a standard $5.00 if copies fit into a priority flat rate envelope. If shipment is larger, the fee will be based on the estimated weight of shipment.
10. After request and payment are received, all requested copies shall be supplied/shipped to the requester no later than thirty (30) calendar days.
11. The Coalition shall accept certified checks and money orders for requests for copies made in person or in writing.
Coalition Redaction Processes: Redaction is a process of removing from or hiding sensitive information in documents. These can include documents in the public record that may contain personally identifiable information (P.I.I.) such as Social Security Numbers, telephone numbers, addresses, and other details that are sensitive and personal information. Information is redacted to protect individuals’ right to privacy and to prevent identity theft. The particular redaction method selected will be determined by how many documents must be redacted and in what time frame. Manual Redaction This is as simple as placing black tape over a copy of the original document, the information to be redacted, or covering the information using a thick, black marker. Then visually verifying the redacted information is not readable. Redaction Using Software Redaction functionality may be available in the software used to produce the document. Microsoft promotes a free add-in for Microsoft Word 2007 and 2010 that permanently redacts fields highlighted by the user. And Adobe Acrobat began offering a redaction function in version 8 of its popular software. However, using these applications may leave metadata that may include information that was manually redacted. Therefore, the final document must be a scanned document and not left in its original electronic format. Redaction as a Service Some companies offer complete redaction services as an alternative to in-house redaction functions.
The benefits of Redaction as a Service is its high-volume capacity: some companies can redact 100,000 or more documents per day. In addition, these services typically provide quality review processes that use automated and manual methods to review redacted areas and correct or amend areas in question.
Redaction as a Service is useful in situations where you have a large volume of historical records that must be redacted thoroughly and quickly, and you lack the manpower to redact the records yourself. Should the Coalition ever be required to fulfill a very large request for public records, it may choose to procure such a service.

HANDOUT
Early Learning Coalition of North Florida, Inc. Annual Board Meeting 09/21/2016
OP202 Code of Ethics Effective Date: 08/05/09 Revision Date: 02/03/10, 04/07/10, 02/02/11, 02/12/13, 12/04/13, 06/17/15 The Coalition’s Code of Ethics (also known as a Code of Conduct) is a compilation of what business conduct is expected from all of its employees and board members as it pertains to (but not limited to) each of four aspects of the Coalition’s business processes: Personnel, Accounting and Financial, Procurement of Goods or Services, and Contract Management and Monitoring. Upon hire, acceptance, or assignment, each individual is required to read the Coalition’s Code of Ethics and sign the Coalition’s Code of Ethics Acknowledgment of Compliance form, and then annually for each subsequent year of employment or affiliation. The following are a few generalized examples of infractions of rules of conduct that may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment or board assignment: • Theft or inappropriate removal or possession of property • Contributing to the misrepresentation or falsification of documents • Altering, covering up, falsifying, or destroying any document that may be relevant to an official
investigation • Insubordination or other disrespectful conduct • Unauthorized disclosure of confidential information • Unsatisfactory performance or conduct More specific examples of misconduct and/or unethical behavior are discussed in the following four areas of key operations. Personnel
The successful business operation and reputation of the Coalition is built upon the principles of fair dealing and ethical conduct of our employees. Our reputation for integrity and excellence requires careful observance of the spirit and letter of all applicable laws and regulations, as well as a scrupulous regard for the highest standards of conduct and personal integrity.
The continued success of the Coalition is dependent upon our clients' trust and we are dedicated to preserving that trust. Employees owe a duty to the Coalition, its clients, and Board representatives to act in a way that will merit the continued trust and confidence of the public.
The Coalition will comply with all applicable laws and regulations and expects its Board of Directors, C.E.O., managers, supervisors, and employees to conduct business in accordance with the letter, spirit, and intent of all relevant laws and to refrain from any illegal, dishonest, or unethical conduct.
In general, the use of good judgment, based on high ethical principles, will guide you with respect to lines of acceptable conduct. If a situation arises where it is difficult to determine the proper course of action, the matter should be discussed openly with your immediate supervisor.
Compliance with this policy of business ethics and code of conduct is the responsibility of every Coalition employee. Disregarding or failing to comply with this standard of business ethics and code of conduct could lead to disciplinary action, up to and including possible termination of employment. Accounting and Financial
Practice of Ethical Behavior Unethical actions, or the appearance of unethical actions, are unacceptable under any conditions. The policies and reputation of Coalition depend to a very large extent on the following considerations. Each employee must apply her/his own sense of personal ethics, which should extend beyond compliance with applicable laws and regulations in business situations, to govern behavior where no existing regulation provides a guideline. Each employee is responsible for applying common sense in business decisions where specific rules do not provide all the answers. In determining compliance with this standard in specific situations, employees should ask themselves the following questions: 1. Is my action legal? 2. Is my action ethical? 3. Does my action comply with Coalition policy? 4. Am I sure my action does not appear inappropriate? 5. Am I sure that I would not be embarrassed or compromised if my action became known within
the Coalition or publicly? 6. Am I sure that my action meets my personal code of ethics and behavior? 7. Would I feel comfortable defending my actions on the 6 o’clock news? Each employee should be able to answer "yes" to all of these questions before taking action. Each board member and C.E.O. is responsible for the ethical business behavior of her/his subordinates; and must carefully weigh all courses of action suggested in ethical, as well as economic, terms and base their final decisions on the guidelines provided by this policy, as well as their personal sense of right and wrong. To the extent that the C.E.O. authorizes other managers to perform certain activities, those managers become responsible for those portions of the organization’s system of internal control, and at no time is Coalition management allowed to override an Internal Control process.
Compliance with Laws, Regulations, and the Coalition Policies The Coalition does not tolerate:
• The willful violation or circumvention of any federal, state, local, or foreign law by an employee during the course of that person's employment;
• The disregard or circumvention of the Coalition policy or engagement in unscrupulous dealings. • Any attempt of management to override a financial internal control process.
Employees should not attempt to accomplish by indirect means, through agents or intermediaries, that which is directly forbidden.
The performance of all levels of employees will be measured against implementation of the provisions of these standards.
Legal Action In the event that legal services are required for active or pending litigation, the Board of Directors must be notified in advance and approval for such action granted. This notification should include, at a minimum, a description of the services to be rendered, anticipated fees, and allowability of the expense in regards to the use of grant award funds. Procurement of Goods or Services Code of Conduct Employees and board members should strive at all times to make decisions and take actions that make concrete contributions to the professional, financial and organizational welfare of the Early Learning Coalition and its counties and communities.
Receiving Business Gifts Employees and board members are expected to be professional about receiving gifts from clients, providers, vendors, suppliers, and other organizations the Coalition directly or indirectly conducts business with. This includes the purchase of business related meals and after work refreshments. Contract Management and Monitoring Coalition Ethics 1. Staff members are prohibited by Chapter 112, Part III, F.S., from soliciting or accepting anything of value that would cause them to be influenced in the discharge of their responsibilities.
2. Examples of ethics violations include, but are not limited to the following:
(a) Deliberately failing to disclose a conflict of interest in the course of one’s duties. (b) Engaging in or carrying on a business enterprise with a client or person doing business with the Coalition. (c) Accepting or requesting gifts or gratuities from contractors, providers, or clients in violation of the Coalition’s Code of Ethics.
3. Staff members are prohibited from revealing client names or other confidential information from the Coalition or contractors records to unauthorized persons. Examples include releasing HIV/AIDS client names or reporter information from the Florida Protective Services System.
4. Staff members are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that favorably reflects upon the Coalition, and themselves.

OP203 Conflict of Interest Effective Date: 08/05/09 Revision Date: 02/03/10, 04/07/10, 12/28/10, 02/02/11, 02/12/13, 06/17/15, 03/16/16 The Coalition’s Conflict of Interest Policy is a compilation of policies as it pertains to (but not limited to) each of three aspects of the Coalition’s business processes: Personnel, Accounting and Financial, and Procurement of Goods or Services. Annually, Coalition board members and employees are required to review, complete, and sign the Coalition’s Conflict of Interest Questionnaire. Personnel Employees and board representatives have an obligation to conduct business within guidelines that prohibit actual or potential conflicts of interest. This policy establishes only the framework within which the Coalition wishes the business to operate. The purpose of these guidelines is to provide general direction so that employees can seek further clarification on issues related to the subject of acceptable standards of operation. The Coalition adheres to the highest legal and ethical standards applicable in our business. The Coalition business is conducted in strict observance of both the letter and the spirit of all applicable laws and the integrity of each employee are of the utmost importance.
Employees of the Coalition shall conduct their personal affairs in such a fashion that their duties and responsibilities to the Coalition are not jeopardized and/or legal questions do not arise with the respect to their association or work with the organization.
An actual or potential conflict of interest occurs when an employee or board representative is in a position to influence a decision that may result in a personal gain for that employee or for a relative as a result of the Coalition's business dealings. For the purposes of this policy, a relative is any person who is related by blood or marriage, or whose relationship with the employee is similar to that of persons who are related by blood or marriage.
No "presumption of guilt" is created by the mere existence of a relationship with outside firms. Personal gain may result not only in cases where an employee or relative has a significant ownership in a firm with which the Coalition does business, but also when an employee or relative receives bribes, substantial gifts, or special consideration, as a result of any transaction or business dealings involving the Coalition. Outside Employment/Conflict of Interest Questionnaire Employees may hold outside jobs as long as they meet the performance standards of their job with the Coalition. All employees will be judged by the same performance standards and will be subject to the Coalition's scheduling demands, regardless of any existing outside work requirements.
If the Coalition determines that an employee's outside work interferes with performance or the ability to meet the requirements of the Coalition as they are modified from time to time, the employee may be asked to terminate the outside employment if he or she wishes to remain with the Coalition.
Outside employment that constitutes a conflict of interest is prohibited. Employees may not receive any income or material gain from individuals outside the Coalition for materials produced or services rendered while performing their jobs with the Coalition.
Employees who have their own businesses must disclose such interest to the company in accordance with its conflicts of interest policy. Generally, the Coalition will not purchase from a business owned by one of its employees.
Each year, employees and board members must complete a conflict of interest questionnaire. Accounting and Financial Introduction In the course of business, situations may arise in which the Coalition decision-maker has a conflict of interest, or in which the process of making a decision may create an appearance of a conflict of interest. All board members, the C.E.O., and employees have an obligation to:
1. Avoid conflicts of interest, or the appearance of conflicts, between their personal interests and those of the Coalition in dealing with outside entities or individuals,
2. Disclose real and apparent conflicts of interest to the Board of Directors, and 3. Refrain from participation in any decisions on matters that involve a real conflict of interest or the
appearance of a conflict. What Constitutes a Conflict of Interest? A potential conflict of interest arises when a board member, C.E.O. or employee involved in making a decision:
• Is, or has an immediate family member, or owns a business entity in a position to benefit (directly or indirectly) from his/her dealings with the Coalition or person conducting business with the Coalition.
• Has direct or indirect ownership of more than five (5) percent of the total assets or capital stock, cumulatively, of one or more of the proscribed sources of income. “Proscribed sources of income” are derived from interests in the design or delivery of the VPK or SR program.
• During the prior two (2) years, more than five (5) percent of the gross income of the coalition member, relative, or owned business entity was derived, cumulatively, from one or more proscribed sources of income. (For more information please refer to paragraphs (1)(d) 1. and 2. and (e) of Florida Administrative Code 6M-9.110 “Requirements and Criteria for Early Learning Coalition Composition” dated 03/29/15).
The Coalition defines an “Immediate Family Member” as:
• a spouse or significant other • a parent, sibling, or child, • a step-parent, step-sibling, or step-child • any other individual residing in the household
Examples of conflicts of interest include, but are not limited to, situations in which a board member, the C.E.O., or an employee:
1. Negotiates or approves a contract, purchase/sale, or lease on behalf of the Coalition and has a direct or indirect interest in, or receives personal benefit from, the entity or individual providing the goods or services;
2. Employs or approves the employment of, or supervises a person who is an immediate family
member of a board member, C.E.O., or employee; 3. Sells products or services in competition with the Coalition; 4. Uses the Coalition’s facilities, other assets, employees, or other resources for personal gain; 1. Receives a substantial gift from a vendor, if the board of Directors, C.E.O., or employee is
responsible for initiating or approving purchases from that vendor.
Procurement of Goods or Services Conflict of Interest Conflict of interest refers to actions or decisions that are not in the best interests of the Coalition. These may include, but are not limited to:
1. Performing non-company work during regular work hours. 2. Use of company techniques, materials, equipment, supplies and/or employees for personal or non-
company reasons or projects. 3. Involvement in agreements or contracts with suppliers, vendors, job applicants, etc., which result
in personal financial gain, reward, special status or personal favors. 4. Using the employee’s, board member, or Coalition agent’s position with the Coalition to enhance
your own position, status or financial gain at the expense of, or to the detriment of the Coalition. 5. Officers, employees, and agents soliciting or accepting gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary
value from contractors or parties to subcontracts. However, acceptable situations are those in which the financial interest is not substantial or the gift is an unsolicited item of nominal value. Reference 2 CFR Part 200.318 (c)(1).
6. Organizational conflicts of interest that occur because of relationships with a parent, affiliate or subsidiary organization. Due to interconnected nature of program operations, processes, and benchmarks, a non-Federal entity like OEL is unable (or may appear to be unable) to operate on an independent or impartial basis in conducting a procurement action involving a related organization, such as an ELC or other OEL sub-recipient. Reference 2 CFR Part 200.318(c)(2).
If the employee, board member, or Coalition agent is not sure about a situation, it is their responsibility to talk with the C.E.O. to clarify their role and the Coalition's position regarding their situation. Where conflict of interest is clearly present, it is the employee’s, board member’s, or Coalition agent’s responsibility to act in the best interests of the Coalition in handling the situation and to report the resolution of the problem to management. Disclosure Requirements The board member, C.E.O. or employee who believes that he/she may be perceived as having a conflict of interest in a discussion or decision must disclose that conflict to the group making the decision. Most
concerns about conflicts of interest may be resolved and appropriately addressed through prompt and complete disclosure. Therefore, the Coalition requires the following:
1. On an annual basis, all members of the Board of Directors, the C.E.O., and employees with purchasing and/or hiring responsibilities or authority shall inform, in writing, the C.E.O. and the chair of the Board of Directors, of all reportable conflicts.
2. Prior to the preparation of the disclosure statements, the accounting department shall distribute a
list of all vendors with whom the Coalition has transacted business at any time during the preceding year, along with a copy of the disclosure statement, to be completed by the first Board meeting of each fiscal year. In addition, each person completing the disclosure statement will be asked to list the names of all businesses that he/she (or any member of her/his immediate family) are affiliated with, that it is possible the Coalition may consider for future business dealings.
3. The C.E.O. shall review all forms completed by employees, and the Executive/Administrative
Committee shall review all forms completed by Board of Directors and the C.E.O., and determine appropriate resolution in accordance with the next section of this policy, if applicable.
4. If a conflict arises during the year, the employee or board member will immediately notify the
C.E.O. who will determine appropriate resolution. Resolution of Conflicts of Interest All real or apparent conflicts of interest shall be disclosed to the Executive/Administrative Committee and the C.E.O. of the Coalition. Conflicts shall be resolved as follows:
• The C.E.O. shall be responsible for making all decisions concerning resolutions of conflicts involving employees, subject to the approval of the Executive/Administrative Committee.
• The Executive/Administrative Committee shall be responsible for making all decisions concerning resolutions of conflicts involving the C.E.O. and other members of the board.
• The chair of the committee shall be responsible for making all decisions concerning resolutions of conflicts involving the Executive/Administrative Committee members.
• The full board shall be responsible for making all decisions concerning resolutions of the conflict involving the chair of the Executive/Administrative Committee.
The Board of Directors, C.E.O., or Coalition employees may appeal the decision that a conflict (or appearance of conflict) exists as follows:
• An appeal must be directed to the chair of the board • Appeals must be made within 30 calendar days of the initial determination • Resolution of the appeal shall be made by vote of the full Board of Directors • Board members who are the subject of the appeal, or who have a conflict of interest with respect
to the subject of the appeal, shall abstain from participating in, discussing, or voting on the resolution, unless their discussion is requested by the remaining members of the board
Disciplinary Action for Violations of this Policy Failure to comply with the standards contained in this policy will result in disciplinary action that may include termination, referral for criminal prosecution, and reimbursement to the Coalition or to the
government, for any loss or damage resulting from the violation. As with all matters involving disciplinary action, principles of fairness will apply. Any employee charged with a violation of this policy will be afforded an opportunity to explain her/his actions before disciplinary action is taken. Disciplinary action will be taken:
1. Against any employee who authorizes or participates directly in actions that are a violation of this policy.
2. Against any employee who has deliberately failed to report a violation or deliberately withheld
relevant and material information concerning a violation of this policy. 3. Against any board member or C.E.O. who attempts to retaliate, directly or indirectly, or
encourages others to do so against any employee who reports a violation of this policy. A board member who violates this policy will be removed from the board.
Early Learning Coalition of North Florida, Inc. Employee and Board Member
Conflict of Interest Questionnaire
Each year, employees and board members must complete a conflict of interest questionnaire. At the Early Learning Coalition, our reputation for integrity is one of our most valuable assets and is directly affected by the conduct of our employees. For this reason, employees and Board members must not use their position for private gain, to advance their personal interests, or to obtain favors or benefits for themselves, members of their immediate families*, or any other individuals or business entities. This includes Board members abstaining from voting on a matter when an item is presented for a vote that will directly affect that Board member, his/her employees, or another organization the Board member is involved with. The following questions are designed to protect you as an employee or a Board member of the Early Learning Coalition, and to comply with the federal and state mandates under which we operate. We appreciate your cooperation in completing this form.

4. Please list the names of all businesses that you, or any member of your immediate family, are
affiliated with, that it is possible the Coalition may consider for future business dealings: 5. Do you own your own business? If yes, please provide the name, address, and nature of your

• I have reviewed the annual list of current Coalition vendors for any potential conflict of interest, and have no potential conflict of interest to report.
