The overall goals and activities of this department are aligned with the district's strategic plan. Adult Secondary Education courses will be offered at Gary Adult High School, Brewster Technical Center, eight senior high schools, and one middle school this year. The department will continue to serve a diverse population of students throughout Hillsborough County. Classes are offered as needed and scheduled to accommodate business partners, and private and public agencies. A comprehensive three-year plan for school improvement has been implemented.
Programs are available at county correctional facilities.
The Plant City One-Stop Adult Intensive Learning Center has been added to the list of Adult Special Programs sites. The department's prescriptive approach to the delivery of instruction enables us to be site-specific with our services. Student assessment is an ongoing process in order to best serve individual needs. An ongoing process of formal program monitoring review is being developed and will be implemented in the Fall, 2000. In addition to classes offered for regular adult students seeking an adult high school diploma or to improve basic education skills, the department will also coordinate services for disabled adult students.
