SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Renewal Interlocal Agreement for Educational Services with Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners for Fire Fighter Training by Learey Technical Center, 2009/2010 (Curriculum and Instruction Division)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We request approval of the renewal of Interlocal Agreement for Educational Services to provide training for employees of Hillsborough County Fire Rescue for the period of July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. Learey Technical Center successfully initiated training for Hillsborough County fire fighters in 1991, through an Interlocal Agreement for Educational Services with the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners. Approximately 900 Hillsborough County fire department employees are trained in the areas of fire fighting science and techniques, as well as emergency medical procedures. This interlocal agreement is mutually beneficial for continuation of necessary fire fighter sciences training throughout Hillsborough County.

ANNUAL DISTRICT GOAL(S) AND CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR(S)

* Challenge and support all students with an appropriate curriculum

FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted: Yes)

This item is included in the divisional general operating budget. The Occupational Completion Point (OCP) training programs provided for the Hillsborough County fire fighters generate Workforce Education Funds based on student enrollment; Hillsborough County will pay student tuition up to $225,500. Funds remitted by Hillsborough County cover instructor salaries and district indirect costs.

EVALUATION

Evaluation will be based on an analysis of the number of fire fighters trained and the number of the Occupational Completion Points earned by June 30, 2010.
