Common use of APPENDIX F Clause in Contracts

APPENDIX F. The Board and the Union agree that fifteen percent (15%) of the money received by the Board from the State of Connecticut for “Medicaid Reimbursement” shall be deposited in the WTA Medicaid Account. Such funds shall be used to purchase usual and customary educational supplies, materials, software, hardware, textbooks, diagnostic tests, and educational projects for the use and benefit of special education students. Such purchases of supplies and materials shall be above and beyond the materials and supplies normally provided by the Board. Speech Pathologists, Social Workers and Psychologists may submit requests to purchase school materials and supplies with money from the WTA Medicaid Account. Such requests shall be reviewed by an administrator approved by the Parties. On January 1 and July 1 of the school year, the Board shall be permitted to expend any undisbursed funds remaining in the WTA Medicaid Account. At least thirty (30) days prior to the dates noted above, the Board shall provide written notice (email and hard copy) to the WTA President or his/her designee of the total undisbursed funds remaining in the WTA Medicaid Account as of the date of notice. The cutoff dates for such expenditures by the Board will be pursuant to a schedule agreed to by the Parties. Such funds, if expended by the Board, shall be used in a manner designed to provide additional assistance, services, and support for those Union members responsible for providing services to Medicaid-eligible students. Such assistant and support shall include, but will not be limited to, contracting for additional staff to assist in the providing of services to Medicaid-eligible students. If an audit requires the Board to pay back Medicaid funds to the State of Connecticut, then fifteen percent (15%) of the total amount reimbursed to the State shall be deducted from future payments into the WTA Medicaid Account. The Board will supply the Union copies of all checks received under Medicaid Reimbursement from the State and audits. The Board and the Union understand and agree that this Agreement supersedes any other agreement or past practice concerning Medicaid Reimbursement, including without limitation the settlement agreement entered into on or about February 13, 1997.
