Discussion and possible action to enter into a non-financial Memorandum of Understanding between United Independent School District and the Webb County Juvenile Department relating to the assignment of teachers from United Independent School District to the Webb County Juvenile Department to serve students who reside at the Webb County Youth Village, and authorizing the County Judge to execute all relevant documents.

Solution: Approve Memorandum of Understanding with the United Independent School District.
