SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve Renewal Workforce Education Fee Schedule for Adult Student Tuition, Financial Aid, Capital Improvement, and Technology for Postsecondary Technical and Adult Education Programs, 2014/2015
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The recommended 2014/2015 Workforce Education Fee Schedule reflects the base tuition and fees for postsecondary technical and adult education programs.  The recommended rates are based on state required tuition and allowable fees.  The statutory reference related to Workforce fees is Section 1009.22, F.S.

The official required fee memorandum was issued by the Florida Department of Education June 27, 2014, stating that the base tuition rates for 2014/2015 are to be the same as 2013/2014 rates.  A technology fee has been added to the Vocational Certificate programs at the rate allowed in statute, and will be used as authorized in statute for technology improvements to benefit the students in those programs.  House Bill 851 removed the residency requirement for all Adult General Education students.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Challenge and support all students with an appropriate curriculum
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)
These fees are part of the local required effort and are included in the Workforce Education general operating budget.
