This agreement, which outlines the roles and responsibilities of the district and the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, is designed to facilitate the effective and efficient delivery of services to students served in jail settings as required by Florida law. This ensures that students receiving educational services in the Sheriff's Office sites will receive Extended Year and Exceptional Student Education (ESE) funding from the Florida Educational Finance Program (FEFP).
