Open Agenda
Approve the proposed Postsecondary Workforce Education and Community Education Fee Schedule for the 2013-2014 school year.
Workforce Education fees are established by the Legislature in the General Appropriations Act. The School Board must annually adopt the State of Florida Fee Schedule for Postsecondary Workforce Education. The fees for Community Education Programs, also known as fee support, are set by the District. Over 175,000 students enroll annually in technical, adult and community school programs, courses and activities. Students are classified as residents or non-residents for the purpose of assessing tuition fees.
The Florida resident fee for Technical Certificate and Applied Technology Diploma Programs in 2013-2014 shall be $2.80 per hour, which represents an increase of 5¢ per hour. The non-resident fee is $11.20 per hour, which represents an increase of 7¢ per hour. These fee increases align with the requirement set forth by the General Appropriations Act. Individuals enrolled in Adult General Education (AGE) programs shall be assessed a tuition resident fee of $30 per term or a non-resident fee of $120 per term. There was no fee increase for the AGE programs. The tuition fees for Fee Support courses are established to cover all costs associated with operating the program, including instructional costs, equipment maintenance, and marketing. Fee support courses are grouped into eight levels. The 2013-2014 resident and non-resident tuition fees are: $2.00 per hour for Level 100, $3.00 per hour for Level 200 and 300, $6.25 per hour for level 400, $3.10 per hour for level 500, $5.55 per hour for Level 600, $6.90 per hour for Level 700 and $11.50 per hour for Level 800.
The positive financial impact to the District is estimated to be $6,500,000. The source of funds is adult student fees. There is no additional financial impact to the District.
