74. IGA WITH WASHINGTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR DENTAL SEALANT SERVICES Approve a non-financial Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Washington Elementary School District (WESD) and Maricopa County by and through its Department of Public Health (MCDPH), Office of Oral Health, Dental Sealant Program to provide dental sealant services for eligible students. This IGA is effective July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2029. Either party may terminate the Agreement at anytime by giving the other party at least thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice. Tooth decay and resultant pain can have an adverse effect on overall health, good nutrition, self-esteem, and ability to learn. Among the 43 states that collect data in the same way, Arizona ranks #3 in highest percentage (over 40%) of third grade children with untreated tooth decay. Conversely, the state of Washington has the lowest percentage of children with untreated tooth decay (less than 15%) among the Western states. Dental sealants are applied to the permanent molars of second and sixth grade students who are eligible. The procedure takes about 15 minutes per child, is pain free, and requires no “shots” or drilling. (C-86-24-185-X-00)
