Title: AC1-Articulation Agreement with Health Careers Institute, Inc.

Recommendation:
I recommend that the School Board approve the articulation agreement with Health Career Institute, Inc., effective July 20, 2006 through July 20, 2011, and authorize the Superintendent or designee to sign all documents and amendments related to the agreement which are required for implementation.

Description:

This purpose of this agreement is to allow the School District of Palm Beach County high school graduates, who have completed a specific sequence of high school courses designated as Tech Prep pathways, to receive credit at Health Careers Institute, Inc. (HCI) for the courses they have completed in high school upon the student's enrollment in the institution.  This agreement satisfies, in part, requirements for the Tech Prep Title 341/CC Grant.

The Tech Prep agreement with HCI provides for a system of credit granting on a course-by-course basis, allowing students to secure college credit upon entry into the post-secondary institution.  All School District of Palm Beach County high school students will be eligible for this opportunity.

Financial Impact:
There is no financial impact to the District.
