SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve Renewal Workforce Education Fee Schedule for Adult Student Tuition, Financial Aid, and Capital Improvement for Postsecondary Technical and Adult Education Programs, 2012/2013 (Career, Technical, and Adult Education)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

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 2012 General Appropriations Act amended the tuition and fees policies for 2012/2013. The recommended hourly tuition rate is based on state required fees, student intent, and student residency status.

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.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Challenge and support all students with an appropriate curriculum
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  No)

These fees are part of the local required effort and are included in the Workforce Education general operating budget.
