SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Renewal Workforce Education Fee Schedule for Adult Student Tuition and Financial Aid for Postsecondary Technical and Adult Education Programs, 2007/2008 (Adult Technical Education and Adult and Community Education)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We are requesting that the current tuition rates per hour for postsecondary technical and adult education programs be approved with no increase for the 2007/2008 school year. 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. This year, the tuition increase which was passed by the Legislature and included in the General Appropriations Act was vetoed by the Governor. The statutory reference related to Workforce Education fees is Section 1009.22, F.S.

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

FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted: Yes)

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