12. Recommendation Concerning the Memorandum of Agreement between the

Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-07 · agenda_item

This item concerns a planned Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the School Board of Escambia County and Escambia County for student clinical training. The agreement will allow students from George Stone Technical College's Emergency Medical Technician and Paramedic programs to gain hands-on experience with Escambia County EMS. This initiative is currently under review and is planned to begin March 17, 2026, and continue for one year, with options for four additional one-year renewals. The project involves establishing a framework for student training, which may lead to future needs for training facilities, equipment, and administrative support services. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in fields such as education support, emergency services, and administrative services could find opportunities by engaging early. Understanding the scope of this training agreement before final permits or operational plans are set can provide a competitive advantage.
