School Board member and Council Chair Robin Bartleman’s op-ed, “Children’s Services Council of Broward is doing its job well,” was right on target. At HANDY, where we provide life skills and educational options for children in relative and foster care, the council is more than a funder, they’re a valued partner. The technical assistance and support we receive from the children’s council is unparalleled. They help us deliver positive outcomes, fiscal accountability and enhanced service delivery. Together, we ensure that taxpayer dollars are used to maximum impact, helping to create the next generation of leaders for Broward County. In my mind, that’s what a true public-private partnership is all about. Evan Goldman, CEO of HANDY, Fort Lauderdale
