SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve Modification Number 1 to the Agreement for Medical Director Services with Medical Direction Consultants, Inc., for the Emergency Medical Technician Program (EMT), Learey Technical Center, 2011/2012 (Workforce and Continuing Education)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We request approval of Modification Number 1 to the Agreement for Medical Director Services with Medical Direction Consultants, Inc., which was approved by the School Board on June 14, 2011.  This modification will ensure continuity of program excellence with the designation of Joe A. Nelson, D.O., M.S., as Medical Director and to update the language to reflect changes in the Florida Statutes. 

Modification Number 1 includes changes made in Florida Statutes which impact the duties and responsibilities of the EMT program medical director.  It also revises the statutory citations in the Agreement to accurately reflect changes published following the 2011 Legislative Session.

Dr. Nelson has served as the Medical Director for Learey's EMT program from its inception.  The fee for Dr. Nelson's services has remained the same for more than six years; this modification includes an increase in that fee.  In addition to the duties and responsibilities of a medical director which are mandated by Florida law, Dr. Nelson allows Learey's EMT program to function under his medical licensure.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Challenge and support all students with an appropriate curriculum
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  No)
Funds are generated through collection of the prorated medical director fee charged to adult students in the EMT program.  This modification will increase the student fee from $175 to $225.  This increase falls within the maximum fee allowed based on the Postsecondary Fee Schedule approved annually by the School Board.  A trust account for fee collection and remittance to the district is included in the Learey Technical Center internal accounts budget.
