If none exists, indicate such and explain why. The Driver Education Program exists in all traditional Collier County Public High Schools as a credited elective during the school day. At each school, a certified Driver Education teacher is responsible for the instruction of the class. The teacher, during the school year, will have a guest teacher assigned to monitor students using driving simulation tools and completing teacher/instructor assigned classwork. This enables the teacher to support small groups of students in meeting the required 30% behind-the-wheel driving requirement. Alternate simulation systems are being researched during the school year to supplement at another school for future purchase. The program consists of the following components: behind the wheel road experience, range simulation practice and classroom instruction. The goal of the program is to safely prepare novice drivers to achieve the National Driver Education Standards. Our teachers serve as third-party testers for the State Department of Motor Vehicles(SDMV). Driver Education teachers can issue written test and road test waivers to their students upon demonstration of documented competencies established by the SDMV.This process has moved to 100%online testing through Driver Education Licensing Assistance Program (DELAP).The project includes providing a free summer school driver education program for public, private and homeschool students, legally residing in Collier County,as per the Slosberg legislation.In addition,the funds will be used for new equipment/vehicles,guest teachers,teacher training,supplies and fuel, maintenance and repairs for vehicles used in the regular school year and summer school programs. PREVIOUS PROGRAM YEAR SYNOPSIS If funding was received in the prior year, describe how the funding was used and any deviations from the original project as submitted in the application, including any budget deviations. The funding was used for 2017-18 school year programming to provide: 4.5 guest teachers, equipment, maintenance and fuel for vehicles,maintenance contracts,and repairs for simulators and supplies for the program.The salary expenses for six Summer Driver Education Program instructors, and two paraprofessionals,vehicle equipment,fuel, repairs and maintenance were all projected in the program budget. There is a maintenance contract for the classroom training simulators located at 5 schools. We negotiated a new contract for simulator maintenance to reflect the reduction in funding. 2-3 vehicle purchases are awaiting board approval in March, 2018 from this budget.Summer school included a full day parent and student small group sessions featuring presentations from Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), Drug Free Collier, Collier County Sheriff's Office, Lee Memorial Hospital Trauma Center, and local and national speakers to enhance parent involvement and understanding of current trends related to teenage drivers. An increase in expenses has occurred and expected as vehicles continue to age. No significant deviations from project budget for last year, funds were being saved for replacement of simulators and vehicles. As Slosberg funds continue to decrease savings and purchases will be more challenging and will limit our abilities. PROPOSED PROGRAM/PROJECT Describe the proposed program or project. Ensure all project components are identified in the budget and budget narrative on the following page. Driver Education project includes a summer school session for Driver Education at 2 locations.6 instructors and 2 para-professionals will staff the summer program. Funding will be used to pay teachers at their hourly rate. Average hourly rate is $43 per hour of instruction,an average of 30 hours per teacher and a benefits amount of 15.57%equals approximately$15,000. Funding will also be used to purchase consumable supplies,simulator equipment,fuel, maintenance and repairs of the vehicles. All vehicles have exceeded 10 years of use and we anticipate additional repair and maintenance expenses. Funding is needed to continue the existing school-based Driver Education program to provide guest teachers in each classroom to allow the Driver Education instructor to guide behind-the-wheel vehicle experience for small groups of students 3-4 days per week. Annual teacher salaries and benefits are paid through District funds. The goal is to save funds needed to replace simulators and possibly 2 additional vehicles as repairs exceed budgeted amounts. Overall replacing 6 simulators at one school and 2 behind the wheel vehicles within 5 years is our next goal. However, if funds continue to decrease,students will have less opportunities to participate in Driver Education through summer school as we will not be able to fund. With the near$53,000 reduction of funds for the last 3 years, it is critical for us to rollover funds to use as savings for these large purchases such as simulators and vehicles. Adjustments in summer school participation for this grant year may need to take place based on necessary expenditures during school year. We request a rollover of funds of approximately$29,918 be held in 189975 account for use with next cycle funding due to the extreme reduction in available funds so large purchases such as a school set of simulators or vehicle replacements can be made as needed in the program.

Direct driver education expenses are defined as those that directly improve the level of skill, responsibility, and capability of students to become better drivers. Eligible direct education expenses include the purchase of goods and services, including, but not limited to, driver education course materials, vehicles exclusively used for driver education programs, driver simulators,and salaries of driver education instructors.Administrative expenses to support the underlying driver education program and other items solely to support the instructor or classroom are not eligible for grant funding.

Each item listed above in the Program/Project Budget should be listed below with calculations and justification provided. Six Driver Education Teachers for Summer Program Driver Education is recognized as critical component in the safety of our young drivers. However,students in advanced classes,course remediation due to State assessment scores,specialized programs,and/or students enrolled in private/home school may not have the opportunity to include Driver Education in their schedule due to the rigor of their coursework. The 30 hour abbreviated summer program gives students the opportunity to receive Driver Education.Motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of death for adolescents age 16-19. This program will offer approximately 160 students the needed skills to be safer drivers,and provide parents with the communication and skills helpful to support their children with current driving laws and driving trends. Guest Teachers at each High School Guest Teachers are needed during the school year to assist the teachers in providing the minimum of 30%behind-the-wheel requirement.Sharing Guest Teachers at each school 3-4 days per week allows us to stay within the budget and to provide more Driver Education and behind the wheel support to more students in our district while being fiscally responsible. This process has also been valuable in providing developing professionals experience and practice at various schools to assist them in acquiring permanent teaching assignments. Equipment/Fuel/Oil/Maintenance In order to provide a quality program, the district must provide the behind the wheel component of the course. This requires fuel, vehicle maintenance and equipment repairs to the Driver Education vehicles. All of our vehicles are at least 10 years old and additional repairs and maintenance is necessary.This area of the budget needs to be most flexible because it is difficult to anticipate the repairs or accidents that might occur. Maintenance/Repairs for Simulators There are 3 different simulator systems in the classrooms. Most simulators are over 13 years of age. Maintenance services for simulators as well as the progression to replace them with more modern technology will be paid from this funding to further support 30%BTW experiences with 3-6 simulators per school year as funding is available,although with the continued decreases in funds this area will be underserved. New Equipment/Vehicles To comply with the new Division of Motor Vehicles third party tester contract,each school site must have an established and approved road test course. DELAP has required all testing be established through digital platforms beginning June 30th,2016 We have complied with all online requirements and continue to offer driver permitting testing and driver licensing testing.We will also continue to monitor equipment and vehicles for replacement needs.2-3 vehicles are being replaced currently pending board approval. *We request a rollover of funds of approximately$29,918 be held in project 189975 for use with next cycle funding due to the extreme reduction in grant funding,so large purchases such as school set of simulators or vehicle replacements can be made as needed in the program. Submit one signed original and two copies to Collier County Grants Coordinator,Administrative Services, Bldg.D., 3299 Taintami Trail East,Suite 602,Naples,Florida 34112;Re:Driver Education Grant Program Page 3 of 3 16E1 COLLIER COUNTY DRIVER EDUCATION GRANT PROGRAM GENERAL PROVISIONS Collier County has created the Collier County Drivers Education Grant Program under the authority of Section 318.125 of the Florida Statutes, entitles "The Dori Slosberg Driver Education Safety Act," This act allows the Board of County Commissioners to enact an ordinance authorizing the Clerk of Courts to collect a five dollar ($5.00) surcharge on all moving and non-moving civil traffic infractions, except infractions related to parking of vehicles, filed in County Court to fund the direct education expenses of driver education programs in both public and non-public high schools. The Board of County Commissioners of Collier County, Florida has deemed it appropriate and in the best interest of the public health, safety and welfare to adopt Ordinance No. 2007-39 to collect this surcharge to supplement driver education funding and, as such, to create a grant program to manage and disburse the funds appropriately. Funds collected are deposited into Fund 173 Driver Education, a special trust fund established specifically for these funds. The County Manager, or designee, will request regular reports of these funds from the Clerk of Courts. By February 1 of each year, the County Manager, or designee, will mail a letter to the School District contact and to each non-public high school indicating the provisions of the grant program and indicating an approximate funding level for that year. USE OF FUNDS All funds collected will be used exclusively to fund the direct expenses of driver education programs in both public and non-public high schools in Collier County. Direct driver education expenses are defined as those that directly improve the level of skill, responsibility and capability of students to become better drivers. Eligible direct education expenses include the purchase of goods and services, including, but not limited to, driver education course materials, vehicles exclusively used for driver education programs, driver simulators, and salaries of driver education instructors. Administrative expenses to support the underlying driver education program and other items solely to support the instructor or classroom are not eligible for grant funding. Furthermore, based on the legislative intent of section 318.1215 of the Florida Statutes, Collier County may lawfully disburse funds to a new driver education program as long as the funds are used for the direct expenses of the new program and there is no supplanting of already existing funds. Each program will also be required to verify that a minimum of 30 percent(30%) of a student's time in the program is spent doing behind-the-wheel training. Funds will be apportioned based on the total number of high school students (grades 9-12) enrolled as of September 1 of the previous year. The application period will be March 1 — March 31 of the following year with funding based on collections through February 1 of each year. Each applicant will be required to report on the application the number of eligible students as of September 1 of the previous year. The apportionment of funds will be adjusted annually based on the number of students reported on each application, or in the case that no applications are submitted, by the County Manager, or designee, every three (3) years to reflect changes in number of eligible students due to growth and other changes affecting high school populations. EXHIBIT page 16E 1 Example: High School #of eligible 9-12 grade Funding Funding per Students as of 9/1/03 Available High School $100,000 School Board 500 $90,909 Non-Public High Schools 50 $ 9,091 NOTIFICATION PROCESS By February 1 of each year, the County Manager, or designee, will mail a letter to the School District contact and each non-public high school providing notification of the grant program provisions, deadline for applications and an estimated funding level for that year.

All applications must be received on or before March 31 of each year at the following address: Administrative Services Department Head Len Golden Price 3299 Tamiami Trail East Suite 602 Naples, Florida 34112 EVALUATION PROCESS Upon receipt of each proposal, the County manager, or designee, will review the applications to ensure completeness and eligibility. The County Manager, or designee, may work with the designated contact to obtain additional information or clarification as necessary in the approval process. APPROVAL AND AWARD PROCESS Following the review of each proposal, the County Manager, or designee, will coordinate with the project contact and the County Attorney's office to prepare a contractual agreement for each project. Each contractual agreement will then require approval by the Board of County Commissioners. Each agreement will acknowledge that funds received will only be used for direct educational expenses for driver education programs, will not supplant existing funding sources and will support 30% of each student's time in behind-the-wheel training. Each agreement will also stipulate that a final report of expenditures and project outcomes be submitted within 90 days of the end of the project or termination of the grant period (whichever comes first). Agreement will also contain provisions for the County to have the right to audit the paperwork and project. DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS Funds will be disbursed within 45 days following Board of County Commissioners approval of the contractual agreement. Example: STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3 STEP 4 (within 90 days of Within 45 days Project Completion) Agreement Approved Funds Disbursed Project Completed Report Submitted Monies that have not been disbursed at the end of each fiscal year will be retained for disbursement in the following fiscal year(s), as appropriate. Monies disbursed, but not spent at the end of the project's time frame shall either be retained by the grantee or be returned to the Trust Fund for disbursement in 1 6 E 1 the following year. Instructions for this process will be contained within the agreement negotiated between Collier County and the grantee. PROJECT REPORTING Within 90 days following completion of the project or termination of the grant period (whichever comes first), a final report must be submitted to the County Manager, or designee, which outlines how the funds were used and includes copies of invoices and checks and any other documentation of expenditures and verities that the funds supplemented, but did not supplant existing funds and supported a program that requires a minimum of 30% of a student's time be behind-the-wheel training. Failure to provide this report would constitute breach of contract and would affect an agency's eligibility for future funding.
