90. AMENDMENT TO IGA WITH WASHINGTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR DENTAL SEALANT PROGRAM SERVICES Approve a non-financial Amendment No.1 to the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Washington Elementary School District (WESD) and Maricopa County by and through its Department of Public Health, Office of Oral Health Dental Sealant Program for free dental sealant services for WESD students. This Amendment extends the term for one (1) year to begin July 01, 2023 and end June 30, 2024. All terms and conditions of the original IGA shall remain in full force until terminated by either party. The contract may be extended for additional (1) year periods, not to exceed a total extended term of five (5) years. This Amendment is for year two of the five-year term. This IGA represents a long-term commitment that has existed between ADHS and MCDPH for 35+ years. The current work activities require the administration of a Dental Sealant Program in Maricopa County. This school based dental sealant program is an evidenced-based, comprehensive strategy that is effective in reducing tooth decay. It is available to Maricopa County schools with 50% or greater participation in the National School Lunch Program. Dental sealants are applied to the permanent molars of second and sixth grade students who are uninsured, or who are eligible for AHCCCS/KidsCare. Tooth decay is a transmissible bacterial infection that infects the majority of children by age 17. In the United States, an estimated 16 million children have untreated tooth decay. This important school-based dental sealant program reduces disparities by providing decay prevention opportunities to children unlikely to receive them otherwise. (C-86-22-097-X-01)
