Mr, Demetrio Perez, Jr- M, S.
Dr Mama Perez
Dr. Solomon C. Stinson
We very much appreciate your interest in Florida's workforce development issue which, as you may
kno*r, has a fundamental impact throughout Miami -Dade County. Your support for local control
of service delivery is needed now to preserve many of the most effective educational programs in
our community.
Miami -Dade County Public Schools operates an extensive network of 26 adult, skill, and technical
education centers, including numerous community-based satellite programs, whose achievements
could be jeopardized by recent legislative proposals. At the local level, we are proud to work
collaboratively with Miami -Dade Community College to deliver remedial literacy and vocational
training to hundreds of thousands of adults each year. In some parts of the state, however,
community colleges have lobbied for a consolidation of workforce development services that would
eliminate or severely reduce the role of school districts.
The effect of such a radical change would be dramatic. We have enclosed a position paper which
outlines the effectiveness of the dual delivery system in Miami -Dade County and the importance of
retaining local control. In reviewing it, you will note that Miami -Dade County Public Schools alone
achieves as many job placements and program completions as all the community colleges in the slave
combined.
With your assistance, we can prevent the loss of programs and appropriations that allow us to
provide community-based services to our disadvantaged and low -skilled adults. We are asking the
county as well as local municipalities to adopt resolutions -supporting local control and to include
this declaration as part of their legislative priorities. We are asking the business community and
individual citizens to express their support directly by contacting their state Senators and
Representatives.
Thank you again for your continued advocacy. If you have questions or suggestions, please contact
Mr. Carlos A. Manrique, WAGES/Workforce Development Specialist, at 305-637-2990.
Sincerely,
- y
Roger C. Cuevas

THE WORKFORCE EDUCATION ISSUE
LEGI SL }.l i V L J 1..4M12J ARY POSITION
AT ISSUE
A movement by the community colleges to consolidate and unify all workforce
education programs under its. sole authority within a 3 to 5 year period.
SCHOOL DISIBICTS QPINION
The current dual delivery system of providing workforce education programs and
services to Florida's citizens by school districts and community colleges is operat-
ing both, effectively and efficiently, and should be maintained and strengthened.
BACKGROUND
With the passage of $8 1688 and 1124, a system to provide the delivery of pos,
secondary workforce education between school districts and community colleges
was established. The founding principles included:
+ the establishment of a level playing field
between delivery systems;
9 competition between systems in order
that the consumer gets the best training
for the least cost;
• guaranteed state-wide articulation
through Applied Technology Diplomas;
• performance based funding founded on
program completers and the level of job
placement.

0303250545b;- 4, 1
Currently, school districts receive over 5710 of all workforce training dollars in the State
and earned over 80% of all the performance points in vocational certificate programs and
over 78% of the performance points in adult high school. School districts have a proven
track record in delivering quality literacy programs as evidenced by providing over 80%
of all adult literacy programs in Florida.
R EOUf,STED ACTIM
To oppose any effort by the State Legislature to assign the Community College System
control of the delivery of post secondary workforce education programs. This issue is one
of local decision and must not be mandated by the State. Local control of the delivery of
post secondary education programs and instruction is critical if we are to meet the eco-
nomic development andtraining needs of business and industry. This decision is best
made by those individuaLs that are affected most. Those individuals are the local busi-
nesses and industries that are located in our communities and served on a daily basis.
Currently, Florida has a dual delivery system in place. This system has demonstrated that
it can and does work efficiently and effectively. No study of governance of post second-
ary education in Florida has concluded that one'system is superior over the other. There
is no rationale or argument that can be made to consolidate this successful model to a
mandated single delivery system under Community College control.
ie. SUMMARY
The real issue is not one of mission creep, disjointed economic development efforts or
who should deliver workforce education programs, but rather one of providing quality
technical education programs to meet the diverse needs of our citizens and business/
industry alike.
We need to concentrate our combined efforts and resources on developing instructional
programs and educational initiatives at the local level to strengthen Florida's position as a
State that can meet the workforce needs of the new millennium.
