Information requested For Contract Approval
1. Facility Location:
The Riviera Beach Maritime Academy will be located on 13th street, which is the site of a city owned elementary school. The school will use relocatable classrooms for at least for its first year of operations. The classrooms will be provided by
Williams Scotsman Inc; According to the companies timeline schedule the facility should be ready by July 1, 2006 barring any unforeseeable problems.
2. Enrollment from Palm Beach Lakes High School:
There are approximately 60 students that will be juniors or seniors for the next school year (20 seniors and 40 juniors). It is our hope that all of these students will opt to attend our school next year. Currently Ann Garland is compiling a list of student names and records so that we can start to finalize our school opening. In addition I and Mike Donahue have a scheduled parent meeting for the evening of Tuesday March"28th to inform the parents about the school. So at the moment we are anticipating approximately 60 students form Palm Beach Lakes High School. Because of the high interest that the principal has in these students, it was felt that the best approach for the students would be to use the time shared concept. This approach would only affect the approximately 60 students that will be juniors or seniors next year at the high school.
3. Shared time students:
Many career and technical schools throughout the country utilize the time shared concept. Basically, under the time shared concept students attend a comprehensive high school for half of their school day where they receive their required academic subjects.
The remaining portion of the student's school day is spent at a Career/Technical school where they receive career and technical training. The time shared concept is a very effective way in providing career and technical training to students. To develop a career and technical program is expensive and sometimes cost prohibitive, especially if you need to duplicate a career training program at a number of locations. By utilizing the time shared concept a larger percentage of students can be served while reducing the costs. Funding for students who attend a time shared program is based on full time equivalent (FTE). The student's high school receives one half of the students FTE and the Career/Technical School receives the other half of the students FTE. Transportation for students attending the Career/Technical School is generally supplied by the high school that is sending the students. In the area of student grading and report cards the Career/Technical School issues a report card on the training the student receives. This would include a grade for the skill training plus any related academics the student receives. The high school would provide grades and a report card on the required academic subject the student is taking. In addition the high school will be provided
- 

grades a student earned at the Career/Technical School. High schools generally also include these grades on their student's report card. Finally, a student graduating under the time shared concept receives a high school diploma through the high school and receives a second diploma from the Career/Technical School and in our case also a skill profile indicating the skills and skill level the student achieved. In the end even though the student is shared time and the FTE is split equally the student is really considered as a member of the high school where they came from.
