Approve Renewal Agreements for Educational Services with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office for Adult and Community Education Programs, 2006/2007 (Adult and Community Education)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Department of Adult and Community Education provides educational services to incarcerated adults at facilities operated by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. Renewal agreements have been developed for continuation of services.

The Non-Financial Agreement for Educational Services establishes the responsibilities of the district and the Sheriff's Office for delivery of instruction that includes adult basic education and General Educational Development (GED) preparation as well as instruction for students seeking to earn a State of Florida High School Diploma. In addition, skills training is offered in alterations, carpentry, horticulture, and culinary arts.

The Financial Agreement for Educational Services renews the commitment by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office - Inmate Canteen Fund to compensate the District at the approved rate for instructional services at $1.82 per student hour for vocational skills training and $.91 per student hour for adult general education instruction.
