EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We request approval of the renewal of Interlocal Agreement for Educational Services to provide training for employees of Hillsborough County Fire Rescue. Learey Technical Center successfully initiated training for Hillsborough County fire fighters in 1991 through an Interlocal Agreement for Educational Services with the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners. Approximately 900 Hillsborough County fire department employees are trained in the areas of fire fighting and emergency medical procedures. This Interlocal Agreement is mutually beneficial for continuation of necessary fire fighter sciences training throughout Hillsborough County.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Challenge and support all students with an appropriate curriculum
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)
This item is included in the divisional general operating budget. The Occupational Completion Point (OCP) training programs provided for the Hillsborough County fire fighters generate Workforce Education Funds; Hillsborough County will pay up to $225,501.68 for OCP student tuition and Continuing Education Career Development instructor costs.
EVALUATION
Evaluation will be based on an analysis of the number of hours of fire fighter training provided by June 30, 2012.
