| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
| We request approval of the Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Tampa, Tampa Bay WorkForce Alliance, and The School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida, through Learey Technical Center for the Tampa Fire Rescue Partnership Academy. The purpose of this partnership is to provide an applicant pool of newly trained fire fighters to the local workforce.
The targeted student population for this special program is economically disadvantaged, minorities, and women. Through this partnership, the City of Tampa will provide the training facility, equipment, and site consumables. The Tampa Bay WorkForce Alliance will provide tuition, fees, texts, tools, uniforms, and supplies for the students as well as assistance with child care and transportation. Learey Technical Center will provide the instructors and coordination of the partnership. |

| FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted: Yes) | |
| This program will generate Workforce Education funds. In addition, the district will receive approximately $23,835 in tuition for each class of 20 students. Funds received in excess of actual costs for this program will be remitted to the City of Tampa to offset costs associated with the operation and maintenance of the facility and equipment. | |
