49. IGA WITH MARICOPA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND PEORIA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR DENTAL SEALANT SERVICES PROGRAM Approve a non-financial Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Peoria Unified School District and Maricopa County by and through its Department of Public Health, Office of Oral Health Dental Sealant Services for no cost school-based dental sealant services for students. This IGA is effective beginning July 1, 2021 and remains in effect until June 30, 2026 unless terminated by either party. The Parties have the right to extend this Agreement for additional one-year periods, not to exceed a total extended term of five (5) years. The purpose of this IGA is to develop a framework of cooperation between MCDPH and Peoria Unified School District to provide dental sealants to eligible students for the prevention of tooth decay. School-based dental sealant programs are evidence-based and provide a safe, inexpensive model for delivering sealants to school-age children, with less learning time lost. Dental sealants are a proven best-practice for reducing tooth decay in the chewing surfaces of permanent molars. These teeth are best protected if dental sealants are applied soon after these molars erupt (second and sixth grades). Dental sealants can protect these molar chewing surfaces from decay for many years. A licensed dentist/hygienist will provide written take-home findings and a list of dental clinics to all (insured and uninsured) second and sixth grade students who return parental consent forms. The program will then provide dental sealants to any of these same students who are clinically eligible and uninsured, or currently enrolled in AHCCCS/ KidsCare or IHS. Preventive services are provided at no cost to the school or the child. (C-86-22-229-X-00)
