body
Executive Summary
The Supervisor of College and Career Programs, on behalf of the Superintendent of Schools, hereby requests the Board to approve the purchase of Dual Enrollment (DE) tuition from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU). Florida Statue 1007.21 mandates school districts and local public postsecondary institutions to enter into agreement for the purpose of establishing guidelines for implementing the program for eligible students. This agreement provides a seamless transition into postsecondary education and permits eligible students an opportunity to earn both high school and postsecondary education credits.
The Dual Enrollment Articulation Agreement between Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and the Hernando County School Board was already Board approved at the July 25, 2023 Board Meeting.

See attached budget sheet.
If expenditure is not currently budgeted, this will serve as the budget amendment when Board approved. If the agenda item includes the purchase of goods or services, the funds requested are an anticipated amount and may fluctuate depending on such factors as current market conditions, product availability, additional funding sources, and the needs of the District. Should the actual cost exceed the anticipated amount, the Board approves the additional cost, after review by the superintendent, but not in excess of the funds available in the site’s approved annual budget.
