(memorandum dated January 14, 2015) <br />147-149 <br />Management and Budget Director Jason Brown provided <br />background on the Dori Slosberg Driver Education Fund, and <br />noted that in 2010, the Indian River County School District <br />stopped providing driver education courses in the high school <br />because of funding constraints. Due to the significant interest to <br />help provide driver education to local students, staff inquired <br />whether the School District would consider restarting a driver <br />education program, and they expressed interest, with the <br />understanding that the program would be funded by the Dori <br />Slosberg fee. He explained the options available for the <br />provision of driver education for Indian River County students, <br />and asked the Board to make a policy decision on whether to <br />charge the Dori Slosberg fee of $5.00 on traffic citations. <br />A brief discussion ensued regarding training through virtual <br />online classes and behind the wheel, and the revenue being <br />available equitably to all educational institutions in the County. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Flescher, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Zorc, to direct staff to draft an <br />Ordinance to reinstitute the Dori Slosberg fund. <br />Alnia Lee Loy supported Harriet Greene in her efforts to <br />promote traffic safety for teenagers, the Dori Slosberg Driver <br />Education Safety Act, and the Indian River County Traffic <br />Education Program Trust Fund. <br />Tom Lockwood, 2230 Falls Circle, voiced support for the <br />program. <br />John Bolen, Drivers Education teacher in Stuart, FL, <br />commended Ms. Greene and Ms. Loy for their efforts in <br />promoting traffic safety for teenagers. <br />Shawn Frost, 6700 77th Street, Education Activist, supported <br />bringing the driver's education program back into the schools. <br />SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Wednesday, May 11, 2016- 10:21:32 - BCC:2012 AttaChrrent Id 1, Pagt/vlor—Lon2, Director for Secondary Education for <br />
