| RECOMMENDATION: |
Recommendation Concerning the CareerSource Escarosa Individual Training Accounts Waiver and Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Budget - Clara Long, Interim Neighborhood & Human Services Department Director
That the Board take the following action concerning Workforce Escarosa, Inc., dba CareerSource Escarosa:
A. Approve and authorize the Chairman to sign the CareerSource Escarosa Individual Training Accounts (ITA) request to support a waiver to allow 30% (vs.50%) of the Title I fund for Adults and Dislocated Workers to be allocated for ITA and to allow CareerSource to meet fixed cost requirements, staffing levels, and increased demand for core and intensive services; and
B. Approve the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Budget for Workforce Escarosa, Inc., dba CareerSource Escarosa as submitted. |
| BACKGROUND: |
All Regional Workforce Boards must comply with Section 445.003(3)(a)(1), Florida Statutes, which states: At least 50 percent of the Title 1 funds for Adults and Dislocated Workers that are passed through to regional workforce boards shall be allocated to and expended on Individual Training Accounts unless a regional workforce board obtains a waiver from Workforce Florida, Inc. Tuition, books, and fees of training providers and other training services prescribed and authorized by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2000 (WIOA) qualify as Individual Training Account expenditures. Pursuant to CSF Administrative Policy DEO FG-074, CareerSource Florida allows regional boards to request a waiver of the 50% ITA expenditure requirement using a “Sliding Scale” model. Using the Sliding Scale, ITA expenditures can be reduced by the waiver in direct relationship to the reduction of the individual regional board’s fiscal year budget. Using the Sliding Scale, CareerSource Escarosa can request an ITA Waiver of up to 30% for Fiscal Year 2019-2020.
Under the Regional Workforce Board Accountability Act (RWBAA), amended by the Florida Workforce Innovation Act of 2000, the Chief Elected Officials are required to review and approve the budget for Workforce Escarosa, Inc., dba CareerSource Escarosa. The budget for the Program for Fiscal Year 2019-2020 is provided. |
