Rachel Rippey, Project Coordinator, provided an overview of the Project Achieve initiative, its current

needs and future direction. The program facilitates career education for students with intellectual and

developmental disabilities by allowing students to earn a workforce certificate credential at the college

even if their desired field is not otherwise accessible. Utilizing the Postsecondary Adult Vocational (PSAV)

certificate program, continuing education and test courses, Project Achieve supports students to

accomplish credit completion, supplemental coursework and soft-skill development. Among others fields of study, students have completed credentials in welding, building trades,

construction technology, child care facility operations and cosmetics. Ms. Rippey reported that the

Project Achieve completion rate exceeds that of FSCJ. The program is currently at capacity with

twenty-five spots, and has received inquiries from a growing number of students. It was reported that

other local institutions have recently shown interest in offering a comparable program. The project’s most recent success, earning the Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with

Intellectual Disabilities (TIPSID) Consortium Grant, will support statewide expansion. The grant funds a job

placement specialist, travel and a project coordinator. Grant activities have resulted in continuous job

development, a job club for students which includes a Facebook presence, and three field placements

since April 2016. The project reports a 50% employment rate. The job placement specialist is currently

7

working to update the data and confirm that students have jobs in their fields, earning a sustainable

income.

Ms. Rippey reported that Project Achieve currently needs to secure funds to sustain the program after

Council funding. The project needs salary support for the coordinator, support to maintain the T.I.E.S.

agreement with Duval county public schools which supports a teacher and job coach, and resources

to meet the increased demand for the program and provide staff to serve more students. Chair Report:

Ms. James-Miller jokingly stated that she is final getting used to being the Chair and her term is almost

over! She shared that collaboration has been her goal for the Council. We as a Council have become

family with stakeholders outside of the Council, this goal has been accomplished.

presented to her on behalf of the on the Council. In her congratulatory words, she expressed how

Shirley’s organizational skills and dedication would be missed! Ex ecut iv e Direct or’s Rep ort :

Margaret Hooper for her work during a very successful legislative session and (3) Sheila Gritz-Swift and

the Program managers for all the state plan work that has been done over the last year!

Debra also reminded the Council that voting for new Council officers would be held at the September

2016 Council Meeting. Council members may run for more than one office and they can nominate

others. The office term is for two years. Consent to serve forms were distributed and it was explained that they need to indicate the offices that they are running for and why they would be good in that

role. The deadline to complete the intent to serve form is August 15, 2016.

Debra announced that after working for the Council for 23 years she would be retiring. Though she

loved every minute of it, she wanted to do non- work activities and enjoy her family. State and Sister Agency Reports:

Vocational Rehabilitation – Jan Pearce

Ms. Pearce reported Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) had a better legislative session this year. The

agency is continuously working on the performance improvement plan and has shown improvement for

the last two years. The only negative occurrence was the loss of over 40 positions, most of whom are

workers in the field. There has been concern with the new VR requirements and the reduced staff after

the loss of positions. There is a possibility that it could result in another waiting list down the line. Ms.

Pearce stated that the Council’s work on provider rates and provider support is much needed right

now.

PROPOSED COUNCIL OPERATIONAL CONFIGURATION

Goals for New Council Operational Configuration

• Recognition that achievement of State Plan goals and objectives requires more than successful completion of the project/contract. It

requires relationship building, partnership development, advocacy at multi levels, and facilitating of all of these toward goal

achievement.

• Focus on how the activities and objectives are meeting the goals (i.e., more focus on the outcome of the Goal and not just the successful

completion of the contract)

• Directing most,if virtually not all, of the Council's funds, time,and effort on the State Plan goals and objectives.

o Council Legislative Priorities would be the legislative actions needed to achieve state plan goals. Council could (and should)

provide secondary level support to other important issues during the legislative session (the extent to which would be based on

the work load required for state plan goals).

o Council Communication activities would be focused on achieving the marketing/PR activities ofthe state plan goals.

• Improving collaboration between focus areas/goals.
