Status:
Approve the proposed Workforce Education and Community Education Fee Schedule for SY 2014-2015.
Workforce Education fees are established by the Legislature in the General Appropriations Act. The School Board must annually adopt a fee schedule. The fees for Community Education programs, also known as fee support, are set forth 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 purchase of assessing tuition and fees in Career and Technical Education programs. The Florida resident cost for Technical Certificate and Applied Technology Diploma Programs in 2014-2015 shall be $2.80 per hour, which represents no increase from SY 2013-2014. The non-resident tuition and fees amount is $11.20 per hour.
Individuals enrolled in Adult General Education (AGE) programs shall be assessed a tuition cost of $30 per term. There was no fee increase for the AGE programs.
The tuition cost for Fee Support courses are established to cover all costs associated with operating the program, including instructional costs, equipment maintenance, and marketing. Fee supported courses are grouped into eight levels. The 2014-2015 resident and non-resident tuition costs are $2.00 per hour for level 100, $3.00 per hour for level 200 and 300, $6.25 per hour for level 400, $3.41 per hour for level 500, $6.11 per hour for level 600, $7.59 per hour for level 700 and $12.65 per hour for level 800.
The positive financial impact to the District is estimated to be $7,000,000. The source of funds is adult student fees. There is no additional financial impact to the District.
