97. IGA WITH PHOENIX ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR DENTAL SEALANT SERVICES Approve a non-financial Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Phoenix Elementary School District (PESD) and Maricopa County by and through its Department of Public Health (MCDPH), Office of Oral Health, Dental Sealant Program for free dental sealant services for students. This IGA is effective July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2028 unless terminated by either party. 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 many 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-86-24-015-X-00)
