This is an amendment to the existing master contract of $40,757 (BOE approved 12/20/17 and BOCS approved 12/28/17) and represents an increase of $178,750 due to an increase of the number of schools being serviced.

This amendment will extend the term of the contract from 12/1/2017 - 6/30/2018 to 8/31/2018 with no increase to the aggregate because the grant ends on 8/31/18.
