MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
between
Barstow Fire Protection District
Victor Valley Community College District
This Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU"') is entered into between the Barstow Fire Protection District ("BFPD") and the Victor Valley Community College District ("AGENCY"). BFPD and AGENCY are at times hereinafter referred to individually as "Party" and collectively, the "Parties".

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE
The purpose of this MOU is to make all Fire Technology and Emergency Medical Services ("EMS") training courses listed under Section D of this MOU (FISCAL PROVISIONS) and provided by AGENCY available to BFPD for the costs specified in this MOU. Training courses are based upon criteria specified within the training curriculum approved by the California State Fire Marshal, National Wildfire Coordinating Group, and National Fire Academy. The training courses have been approved by AGENCY's curriculum committee as meeting course standards pursuant to Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations ("Title 5"), and have also been approved by AGENCY's Board of Trustees. The numbers of class hours are sufficient to meet performance objectives.
Prior to establishing the Fire Training Instruction Program (the "Program"), AGENCY's Board of Trustees conducted a job market study of the labor market area and determined that the results justify the proposed Program pursuant to California Education Code Section 78015.
Neither Party receives full funding for the proposed Program from the State or other sources. It is the intent of this MOU that the Parties combine their resources to provide the instruction that would not have otherwise been possible, but for the combination of resources.
The funds received/paid by either Party under this MOU must be more than a trivial amount used to augment the Program.

4911-9179-5013, v. 1
3. Revenue/Cost Calculation Example:
Fire 10 Firefighter Skills Refresher Training (4 units) 49 students:
BFPD REVENUE
• Fire 10 Firefighter Skills Refresher Training 4 units, 180 hours. • 49 students x 180 hours = 8,820 hours
• 8,820 hours × $4 reimbursement per student contact hour = $35,280
BFPD COST
• 49 students X 4 units = 196
• 196 units X $46 (tuition fee per unit) = $9,016
BFPD RECEIVES
•$35,280 Revenue - $9,016 Cost = $26,264 Net Revenue
Revenue/Cost Calculation Fire 10 (8 units) 49 students:
BFPD REVENUE
• Fire 10 Firefighter Skills Refresher Training 8 units, 450 hours. • 49 students x 450 hours = 22,050 hours
• 22,050 hours x $4 reimbursement per student contact hour = $88,200
BFPD COST
• 49 students X 8 units = 392
• 392 units X $46 (tuition fee per unit) = $18,032
BFPD RECEIVES
$88,200 Revenue - $18,032 Cost = $70,168
Financial Plan Example Non-Credit Course EMS 061 EMT Refresher (equivalent to 1 unit) 49 students:
BEPD REVENUE
• EMS 61 EMT Refresher 1 unit, 18 hours
• 49 students x 18 hours = 882 hours
• 882 hours × $4.00 reimbursement per a student contact hour = $3,528
BFPD COST
• No cost to BFPD for non-credit
BFPD RECEIVES
• $3,528

1. Institutions offering correspondence education must have processes in place through which the institution establishes that the student who registers in a correspondence course is the same person who participates in and receives academic credit for said course. This requirement will be met if the institution verifies the identity of a student-inmate through collaboration with the Onsite Program Supervisor and the associated facility's internal process for inmate identification. • Admission and Registration procedures consistent with our face-to-face community education classes are used to verify student-inmate identty
• Onsite student-inmate authentication procedures will vary by correctional facility • Commanding Officers, in collaboration with Onsite Program Supervisors, verify the packets they receive are from the student-inmate registered in the class and that the correct name is provided • Any onsite proctored assessments will utilize a facility-determined student-inmate authentication process and reconciliation with the class roster
2. Describe how the Methods of Instruction will be modified and/or replaced in the correspondence course.
• Instructors will have at least one (1) touchpoint with their students for every 10 "in-class" hours as detailed in the Course Outline of Record (COR)
• A "touchpoint" is a dissemination of instructional matenals • For each "touchpoint", instructors will send the Inmate Education Instruction Coordinator instructional materials for dissemination at least one week in advance • Instructional Materials will include lecture materials to cover course content and assignments/ assessments to check for understanding
• The Inmate Education Instruction Coordinator produces printed versions of the instructional matenals for distribution
• Instructional materials are distributed to the facilities housing the enrolled student-inmates within one week of receipt from the instructor
• The Inmate Education Instruction Coordinator collects completed coursework for each "touchpoint" • For courses with only one touchpoint, an acceptable interval between distribution and collection will be determined by the instructor
• The Onsite Program Supervisor distributes and collects work by course section and student inmate • OTHER:

3. In Correspondence Education, by definition, there is limited interaction between instructor and students and interactions are primarily student initiated. While limited, interaction should still strive to be regular and substantive. To achieve this end, interaction between the student-inmate and instructor will undergo the following procedure:
• The student-inmate fills out an "Inmate Inquiry Form" identifying any questions he/she/they may have with the academic work associated with the course in which they are enrolled • The student-inmate gives the inquiry form and associated academic work, if appropriate, to a Correctional Officer (CO)
• The CO gives inquiry form to Onsite Program Supervisor • Onsite Program Supervisor addresses the question with the instructor via email, copying the Inmate Education Instruction Coordinator on the exchange
• Instructor answers posed question(s) and/or gives feedback to initiated response to Onsite Program Supervisor
• Onsite Program Supervisor gives feedback to student-inmate. • When a student-inmates does initiate contact, a response time of 2-5 business days is desirable, but may vary based on course requirements and extenuating circumstances
4. Describe how student learning will be evaluated:
• Student-inmate leaming will be evaluated by a combination of formative and summative assessments (e.g. assignments, quizzes, tests, written responses to prompts, and evaluations consistent with the Course Outline of Record (COR)
• Students are expected to complete the hours of study consistent with the hours stated in the COR • Opportunities for student self-assessment will be provided at the end of each touchpoint, as formative assessments
• OTHER:
5. List any special texts, equipment, or supplies needed for this course or sections of this course being offered through correspondence education:
• Correspondence courses in the Inmate Education Program utilize a paper/pencil packet format in lieu of technology
• Instructional materials packets are created by instructors and delivered to and picked up from the Onsite Program Supervisor for each touchpoint in the course • OTHER:

7. Section 55200 of title 5 states "In addition, instruction provided as distance/correspondence education is subject to the requirements that may be imposed by the Americans with Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. §12100 et seq.) and section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, (29 U.S.C. §794d)." How will you ensure that instructional materials are accessible to students with disabilities? • Correspondence classes at Victor Valley College are designed to be welcoming, accessible, and usable by everyone
• The instructors have access to DSPS support to ensure that all course materials are compliant before being offered to the student-inmate, such as documents being correctly formatted and images having attemate text descriptions
• Instructional materials are evaluated for accessibility and inaccessible elements are appropriately accommodated when needed
