School Board Agenda Item

For more than 15 years, the School District of Hillsborough County has had active educational agreements with building trades apprenticeship committees for adult job training programs. During the 2006/2007 school year, approximately 1,255 apprentices attended classes through Learey Technical Center and Tampa Bay Technical Evening Center.

Renewal Educational Agreements have been developed to continue to provide training for 13 building trades apprenticeship committees. The apprenticeship committees are compensated $2,000 for each Occupational Completion Point (OCP) earned by each program the previous year. The contracted funds are used to cover instructor salaries/benefits; program promotion; instructional materials and supplies; equipment upgrade, replacement and repair; other supervisory and administrative costs to include, but not limited to, lease expenses for classroom facilities and equipment, travel, mileage, conferences, and professional meetings.

The funding amounts shown below are estimates as the final allocation will be based on 2006/2007 student completion data. Renewal of the educational agreements is requested for the following registered apprenticeship programs:
