Approve Fee Schedule for Community Education, 2010/2011 (Adult Education)

We request that the hourly tuition rates for postsecondary technical and adult education programs be approved as shown on the attached Workforce Education Fee Schedule, which falls within the range mandated by the Florida Legislature. The 2010 General Appropriations Act amended the tuition and fees policies for 2010/2011. The recommended hourly tuition rate is based on state required fees, student intent, and student residency status. No fees were increased from 2009/2010

The fee structure provides the best possible adult general education and high-skill, high-wage occupational training in the most cost-effective delivery of services. It has been the philosophy of the district to keep tuition and fees for our students at the lowest amount possible, while maintaining the highest quality programs. The statutory reference related to Workforce Education fees is Section 1009.22, F.S.

All Strategic Objectives

All fees collected from participating students are utilized for program costs. Community Education classes are financially self-sustaining with no additional cost to the district.
