I missed the first part of the last HCPS Board meeting, but thanks to advanced technology, I had the opportunity to watch it from the beginning.
Starting around 13:00 minutes into the meeting, agenda item 1.04 was brought up. Through the ensuing discussion, the general director of education was asked if HCPS had a partnership with Hillsborough Community College, and she said "No, we do not."
Interestingly, someone in the back of the room was indicating that indeed HCPS did have a partnership with HCC. This person was identified as Andrea Beverly. She went on to explain that there was an articulation agreement with HCPS and HCC for occupational and physical therapy.
What seemed more interesting was when the general director of ESE stated that in the last three years of being in her position, there had not been any interns from HCC.
Since we should all be aware of the recent state complaint here:
Motel Special Ed: Old news is still bad news, but how many know it?
findings of how the HCPS failed to provide the contracted services for OT and PT on numerous IEP's, it would seem that this type of information should not be overlooked.
Am I missing something too?

did she say HCC would be the first place she would look - after 3 years on the job?
