Founded in 1937 as Northside Technical School, the center was the first technical school established in Miami, Florida. During World War II the school, renamed the Miami Technical High School, was utilized by the United States military for was production training programs. In 1936 Mr. Lindsey Hopkins, who made a fortune while in Atlanta, Georgia through Coca- Cola, moved to Miami. He bought an unfinished fifteen-story boom-years hotel, The Roosevelt, for $38,000 across the street from the Technical High School. Mr. Hopkins paid off all the claims to the hotel and updated the outside of it before dying in 1937. Seven years later the School Board of Dade County bought the hotel for $225,000 and sold the existing technical school site for $50,000. Using $400,000 in federal money, the former hotel building was remodeled. The technical school and the school administrative board offices were relocated to this building which was renamed the Lindsey Hopkins Building. Shortly after World War II ended, the school had its first open house as the Miami Technical High School with an initial enrollment of 400 students. Dr. James T. Wilson, Miami-Dade County’s Superintendent of Schools at the time, stated in the Skyscraper, the school’s 1950 yearbook that he wanted to “develop not only a technical high school, but also a comprehensive vocational program commensurate with the needs of this community.” Soon thereafter the school was renamed the Lindsey Hopkins Education Center. In 1968 it was designated as the county’s first area vocational school. In 1983 the school was relocated to its present site, 750 Northwest 20th Street, and offered Hotel Front Desk Operation, including a hotel wing, as one of its career and technical programs. The school affiliated with the Commission on Occupational Education Institutions of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in the fall of 1970 and was initially accredited in 1972. Since moving to its current site, Lindsey Hopkins Technical Education Center has had six principals. From 1969 to 1990, Dr. John T. Coursey served as the school’s principal. Dr. Coursey made key decisions related to the design of the building and oversaw its construction and relocation to its present site in 1983. Dr. Coursey initiated the quest for a multi-level parking garage. From 1990 to 1997, Mr. John Leyva served as the school’s principal. During Mr. Leyva’s tenure, the hotel program was closed, and the hotel was remodeled and converted into much-needed classroom space. Mr. Leyva was instrumental in obtaining the funds and zoning needed to begin the construction process for Lindsey Hopkins’ parking garage. From 1997 to 2004, Mr. James V. Parker served as the principal. During Mr. Parker’s term, the long-awaited construction of the Lindsey Hopkins’ parking garage came to fruition. 7 From August 2004 to August 2010, Rosa D. Borgen, Ph.D. served as Lindsey Hopkins Technical Education Center principal. She fully embraced Lindsey Hopkins’ commitment to the community it serves through the business partners on EESAC. From August 2010 to September 2021, Ms. Nyce Daniel was at the helm when Lindsey Hopkins Educational Center became Lindsey Hopkins Technical College in 2014. As of September 2021, Ms. Chantal G. Osborne has fervently taken the helm of this historic school as the principal. She has changed the culture at the school to reflect a community of dedicated educators working as a team of professionals striving to “Step Up to Success.” As the 2024 Principal of the Year and 2025 Florida Principal of the Year Finalist, Ms. Osborne’s priority is that our students excel and that we continue to fulfill all our students’ expectations for generations to come through community partnerships.

Prospective students may register directly for courses without pre-entrance requirements by completing the necessary registration forms and paying the applicable tuition and fees. Students enrolling in Adult General Education (AGE) programs must take a basic skills test before registration to determine appropriate placement. Students entering a Career and Technical Education (CTE) program with 450 or more instructional clock hours must complete a basic skills examination within the first six (6) calendar weeks of enrollment.

STUDENT HEALTH Lindsey Hopkins Technical College has no facilities or personnel to render medical assistance of any type. If a student has a medical problem that might result in an emergency, the student should inform the instructor of the condition when initially entering the class. If a student emergency occurs, school officials will call fire rescue, which personnel will make the decision as to the need for an ambulance. If an ambulance is dispatched, the student requiring medical attention is responsible for payment. ATTENDANCE POLICY All students are expected to attend class regularly. Attendance is maintained by the teacher daily through the electronic grade book. Students who fail to report to class during their first three (3) days of their initial registration will be withdrawn as a no-show. All students who accumulate six (6) consecutive absences are dropped automatically from the class. Excessive absences that interfere with academic progress may be grounds for disciplinary action. Attendance policies for veterans receiving benefits for attending school are covered in a brochure distributed to each veteran upon enrollment in school. These brochures are available in the registration office and may be obtained upon request. TRANSFER POLICY Students may transfer from one program to another program within the institution or from other institutions by obtaining the recommendation of counselors and instructors. Transferring students are assessed by instructors to determine the highest achieved competency in order to assist them in continuing their education at the appropriate level. Students beyond the compulsory school age and currently enrolled as full-time secondary students must follow Miami-Dade County Public Schools’ transfer policy to transfer to a career/technical post-secondary school. 15 WITHDRAWAL POLICY Withdrawal of students occurs upon the sixth consecutive absence for adult general education classes and career/technical classes. Students who fail to report to class during their first three (3) days of their initial registration will be withdrawn as a no-show. Students may also officially withdraw by notifying the registrar located in the Registration office in Room C-106. 16 THIRD PARTY BILLING AND REFUND POLICY A student is entitled to a full refund of fees if a course is cancelled by the school director or designee if the student was not reported for membership during the Workforce Education Fund survey period in which the class was counted. If so, only those fees are more than the State requirement shall be refunded. Refunds when they are due can be made without requiring a request from a student. The school must forward an Application for Refund by Check/Credit (Form-2057, Rev.08-14) to the student, and it must be completed and approved for all eligible refunds. A request for a refund must be made within forty- five days of the withdrawal date. A student withdrawn for disciplinary reasons pursuant to the Adult Student Code of Conduct is not entitled to a refund of any tuition and fees. A student who paid fees but is entitled to a waiver, voucher or agency payment shall be entitled to a refund of those fees paid only if required evidence of said waiver, voucher or agency payment is presented to the school within 15 school days of the beginning of the term. If student fees are subsidized by an agency and the student withdraws, that agency is eligible for a refund only if student attendance is less than 50 percent of the scheduled hours and if the request is made in writing. In cases of unusual or extraordinary circumstances (such as illness, death in family, etc.) that preclude a student’s enrollment, the school principal/designee may honor a request for full or partial refund of fees if: • the request is made, in writing, prior to the end of the course; • supporting documentation (where appropriate) must be provided. Students who receive Title IV funds and withdraw from the program, must contact the Financial Aid Office to receive a refund based on the Federal withdrawal calculation formula. Financial aid refund policy conforms to the provisions of Title 34 Part 668.22, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). These provisions are detailed in Volume 5 Chapter 1 of the current Federal Student Aid Handbook and Chapters 5 and 6 of the Federal Student Aid Blue Book found at http://www.ifap.ed.gov Federal Financial Aid (Title IV) is awarded to a student under the assumption that the student will attend school for the entire period for which assistance is awarded. When there is an interruption in a student’s attendance, Return to Title IV funds may be required. When a Return of Title IV funds is required, both the institution and the student have a responsibility for returning funds. Funds that are not the responsibility of the school to return must be returned by the student. The school can exercise the option to collect any funds from the student that must be returned. 17 A student is entitled to a full refund of fees if a course is cancelled by the school principal or designee, if the student was not re-ported for membership during the Workforce Education Fund survey period in which the class was counted. If so, only those fees are more than the State requirement shall be refunded. Refunds when they are due can be made without requiring a request from a student. The school must forward an Application for Refund by Check/Credit (Form-2057, Rev. 08-14) to the student, and it must be completed and approved for all eligible refunds. A request for a refund must be made within forty- five days of the withdrawal date. A student withdrawn for disciplinary reasons pursuant to the Adult Student Code of Conduct is not entitled to a refund of any tuition and fees. GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS A student is eligible for graduation upon fulfillment of the following requirements: • Completion of all course assignments. • Completion of course hours. • Maintain a minimum overall GPA of 2.0. • Fulfillment of all obligations to the school. 18  FINA FINANCIAL AID NCIAL AID FINANCIAL AID INFORMATION Students enrolled in career/technical classes are encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, (FAFSA) for the current year. The federal school code for LHTC is 005586, and the application can be accessed at www.fafsa.gov. Students are required to complete a new FAFSA for each academic year. For students to be eligible for federal financial aid, such as the Pell Grant, they must be enrolled in a career/technical program of 600 or more clock hours of instruction. To be eligible for Florida Student Assistance Grant (FSAG-CE), students must be enrolled in a career/technical program of 450 or more clock hours. District Financial Aid (DFAP) and Fee Waiver programs are also available on a limited basis. Eligibility for these funding sources requires completing the FAFSA application. Pell Grant recipients may receive textbooks as part of the award. Students must maintain Satisfactory Academic Performance (SAP) in order to maintain all financial aid. Financial assistance is available in room D- 106. GENERAL ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS In order to participate in the Pell Grant financial aid program, a student must comply with the following eligibility requirements: 1. Hold United States citizenship or United States permanent resident status. 2. Be enrolled in a certificate program of at least 600 clock hours of instruction. Students enrolled in programs of less than 600 hours may be eligible for district financial aid and FSAG. 3. Make satisfactory progress in academics and attendance. 4. Not be in default or owe a refund for any aid previously received. FINANCIAL AID STANDARDS OF ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP) Career/technical centers of Miami-Dade County Public Schools in conjunction with federal regulations have established the following standards of academic progress, which must be met to continue receiving financial assistance. These standards become effective when the student starts the program, not when the student applies for financial aid. For returning students the standards start the first day of class in the next trimester. 19  A. To make satisfactory progress a student must meet the following: The Student Academic Report must be reviewed by the Financial Aid Officers in order to document and monitor students’ progress at the completion of each payment period. The Student Academic Report from FOCUS provides the information required to monitor the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). The Satisfactory Academic Progress criteria that are expected from all students are as follows: • Satisfactorily attain a minimum grade of “C” or better or GPA of 2.0 and above • Satisfactorily complete outcomes within 150% of the length of the program. • Successfully complete 67% of the maximum scheduled hours for which the student is enrolled If a student fails to make Satisfactory Academic Progress as reflected on their Satisfactory Academic Report, a meeting will be held with the student and the Financial Aid Officer. The student will be placed on “Financial Aid Warning” for one payment period. The Financial Aid Officer will closely monitor the student’s progress; and if the student regains Satisfactory Academic Progress while they are on “Financial Aid Warning”, they will be considered as being in academic compliance. If the student fails to achieve Satisfactory Academic Progress, while on “Financial Aid Warning”, they will be notified of the cancellation of their financial aid award. They will have the opportunity to appeal such an action and can submit a Financial Aid Student Appeals form (FM 6863) obtained from the Financial Aid Officer in order to request an appeal. All requests for appeal will be heard by the school’s Financial Aid Appeals Committee which will be comprised of an administrator, financial aid officer, and counselor. The committee shall convene as needed and will carefully review all information and documentation related to the student’s appeal. The committee will render a written decision to the student within 48 hours of the appeal hearing using the Student Appeals form (FM 6863). The decisions of the Financial Aid Appeals Committee are final. If the student’s appeal is approved, a meeting will be held with the student and the Financial Aid Officer, and the student will then be placed on “Financial Aid Probation” status for one payment period. Reinstatement of a student’s financial aid after an appeal is denied can only be attained if the student attends a trimester without financial assistance and achieves Satisfactory Academic Progress for that payment period. Students will be entitled to one (1) appeal hearing during the entire length of their program. 20 The Financial aid Officers and teachers will work together to closely monitor a student’s progress while on “Financial Aid Probation” and should the student regain Satisfactory Academic Progress during the next evaluation, they will be considered as being in academic compliance and their eligibility will be reinstated. If a student does not make Satisfactory Academic Progress while on “Financial Aid Warning” or “Financial Aid Probation”, a meeting will be held with the student and the Financial Aid Officer, and the student will be informed that they will not be eligible for the payment period following their “unsatisfactory” academic progress report. Students will be financially responsible for their academic expenses until they have successfully reestablished Satisfactory Academic Progress. Students who exceed their maximum hours of eligibility will be considered as not making Satisfactory Academic Progress and will no longer be eligible for financial aid. Financial Aid Officers will be able to effectively monitor all students’ hours and academic grades in order to make the necessary Satisfactory Academic Progress determinations. Students are considered as ineligible when it becomes mathematically impossible for them to complete the program within 150% of the length of the program. Students who transfer will have their hours and grades earned at the previous school counted towards their Satisfactory Academic Progress. Any student who has received an Incomplete (“I”) in a course or has recycled hours or grades, will have these hours and grades counted towards their Satisfactory Academic Progress. If a student withdraws, their existing hours and grades upon re-entering will be counted towards their Satisfactory Academic Progress. B. The number of trimesters a student will be eligible to receive Pell Grant will be limited by the number of hours required to complete the program. Length of Maximum Trimesters Program (Hrs.) of Eligibility 600 3 900 4 1200 5 1350 5 1500 7 1800 8 If a student exceeds the maximum trimesters of eligibility as defined in the above chart, the student will be considered as not making satisfactory progress and will no longer be eligible for Pell Grant financial 21 aid. Additionally, a student is allowed to transfer programs once. A student will lose financial aid eligibility if he transfers more than allowed. C. Appeals Concerning Unsatisfactory Progress If notified that financial aid is cancelled, the student may appeal such action. The appeal should be in writing and include the following documents: 1. A letter by the student describing mitigating circumstances. 2. A physician’s note and/or medical records, if the appeal is based on a medical reason. 3. Any additional documents. The decision of the appeals committee is final. A student will receive written notification of the decision. After an appeal is denied, reinstatement is possible if a student attends one trimester without financial assistance and maintains satisfactory progress for that trimester. A student may be granted only one appeal during the entire program of study. D. Verification Federal regulations require that the school validates income and other information reported on the Pell Grant FAFSA Submission Summary (FSS) with the parent’s/student’s IRS Transcript and attached schedules. When discrepancies occur, the corrected SAR must be resubmitted to the federal processor. The financial aid office reserves the right to require other documentation when deemed necessary before the student becomes eligible for a Pell Grant. E. Pell Grant Disbursements Pell Grant aid will be disbursed each trimester based on the number of hours students complete in a trimester. After seven consecutive days of attendance, if necessary, students may request to receive a book voucher.

Discrimination and Harassment The School Board shall comply with all Federal laws and regulations prohibiting discrimination and all requirements and regulations of the U.S. Department of Education. The Board will enforce its prohibition against discrimination and harassment based on sex, race, color, ethnic or national origin, religion, marital status, disability, age, political beliefs, sexual orientation, gender, gender identification, social and family background, linguistic preference, pregnancy, and any other basis prohibited by law. The Board shall maintain an educational and work environment free from all forms of discrimination and harassment, which includes Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Title IX prohibits all forms of sex discrimination and unwelcome sexual conduct, including conditioning any aid, benefit or service of the school on an individual’s participation in unwelcome sexual conduct, sexual assault, dating or domestic violence, stalking, and all forms of sexual harassment that a reasonable person would determine so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it denies a student access to an education program or activity. Such conduct may include, but is not limited to, unwelcome touching, graphic verbal comments, sexual jokes, slurs, gestures, or pictures, whether in-person or through any other method, including sexual cyber-harassment. All students, administrators, teachers, staff, and all other school personnel share responsibility for avoiding, discouraging, and reporting any form of prohibited discrimination or harassment against students by employees, other students, and their parents or guardians, or third parties. This policy prohibits discrimination and harassment at locations, events, or circumstances over which the Board exercises substantial control over both the respondent and the context in which the prohibited conduct occurs, including but not limited to such events occurring on school property, during any school-related or school-sponsored program or activity, and on school-sponsored transportation. This policy also prohibits retaliation against a person who has made a report or filed a formal complaint alleging unlawful discrimination or harassment, or who has participated as a witness in a discrimination or harassment investigation. The Board does not, as a condition of employment, membership, certification, licensing, credentialing, or passing an examination, subject individuals to training, instruction, or other required activity that is prohibited under F.S. 760.10 and F.S. 1000.05. Prohibited discrimination occurs when any student or employee is subjected to training or instruction that is unlawful under these provisions. The prohibited activities should not be construed to exclude discussion of the concepts listed therein as part of a larger course of training or instruction, provided such training or instruction is given objectively without endorsement of the concepts. For additional information about Title IX or any other discrimination or harassment concerns, contact: Office of Civil Rights Compliance (CRC) Executive Director/District Title IX Coordinator 155 N.E. 15th Street, Suite P104E Miami, FL 33132 Phone: (305) 995-1580 Fax: (305) 995-2047 [email protected] http://crc.dadeschools.net/ For additional information on Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or any other student disability concerns, contact: Division of Special Education 504 Coordinator 1501 N.E. 2nd Avenue, Suite 409 Miami, FL 33132 Phone: (305) 995-1796 Fax: (305) 523-0591 [email protected] http://ese.dadeschools.net/ 68 II. Retaliation and Other Violations The Board will take immediate steps to discipline individuals for: Retaliating against a person who has made a report or filed a complaint alleging unlawful discrimination or harassment, or who has participated as a witness in a discrimination or harassment investigation. Filing a malicious or knowingly false report or complaint of discrimination or harassment. Disregarding, failing to investigate adequately, or delaying investigation of allegations of prohibited discrimination or harassment, when responsibility for reporting and/or investigating unlawful discrimination or harassment charges comprises part of one's duties. The District compliance officer will supervise compliance with Federal and State regulations and address complaints in accordance with law and Policy 5517.02. The Board will provide proper notice of nondiscrimination for Title II, Title VI, and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendment Act of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. III. Reports and Complaints Students who believe they have been the victim of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation are entitled to use the complaint procedures in Policy 5517.02, or, if the complaint involves sexual harassment prohibited by Title IX, to file a formal complaint in accordance with the District’s Title IX Sexual Harassment Manual and request an investigation. Reports will be addressed as soon as possible after the alleged conduct occurs, while the facts are known and potential witnesses are available. When a sexual harassment report is made, supportive measures will be offered, and the formal complaint process will be explained to the complainant. During an investigation of prohibited conduct, the complainant and the respondent shall be provided an equal opportunity to present witnesses and evidence relevant to the complaint. The Principal shall apply the Code of Student Conduct to allegations of discrimination and harassment by students, except as otherwise specified in law or regulation. Initiating a report or formal complaint will not adversely affect the complainant’s participation in educational or extracurricular programs unless the complainant makes the complaint maliciously or with knowledge that it is false. Investigation of an allegation shall not proceed solely based on an anonymous complaint without first attempting to ascertain the identity of the complainant. If, after such efforts, the complainant remains anonymous, the investigation will proceed to the extent possible. The Superintendent shall develop guidelines setting forth the conditions and requirements to implement this policy in accordance with Federal and State laws, regulations, and Board policies. The District's Title IX Coordinator is authorized to coordinate the Board’s Title IX obligations. IV. Privacy/Confidentiality The District respects the privacy of students, including the complainant, the respondent, and the witnesses, consistent with the Board’s legal obligations to investigate, take appropriate action, and comply with any regulatory, discovery, or disclosure obligations. All records generated under this policy and Policy 5517.02 shall be maintained as confidential to the extent permitted by law, except as otherwise outlined in law or regulation. The complaint processes in Policy 5517.02 and/or the Title IX Sexual Harassment Manual are not intended to interfere with student rights to pursue complaints with the United States Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights, or the Florida Department of Education. The CRC Office processes such complaints according to the procedures and standards set forth by Federal and State agencies. V. Retention of Investigatory Records and Materials All individuals responsible for receiving reports, applying formal complaint procedures, and/or conducting investigations under this policy, Policy 5517.02, Policy 5517.03, and/or the Title IX Sexual Harassment Manual shall retain all information, 69 documents, electronically stored information (ESI), and electronic media created and/or received as part of the report, complaint, or investigation. The information shall be retained immediately upon receipt of specific information and/or written notice that could lead to an investigation, formal complaint, or potential litigation. The information, documents, ESI, and electronic media retained may include public records and records exempt from disclosure under Federal and/or State law (e.g., student records). The information, documents, ESI, and electronic media created or received a part of a sexual harassment complaint procedure shall be retained for not less than seven (7) years. All other types of investigations shall be maintained for not less than three (3) years, but longer if required by Policy 8320, Policy 8330, or the District's records retention schedule. VI. Education and Training The Board promotes preventative educational measures to create greater awareness of unlawful harassment and discrimination. The Superintendent shall provide appropriate training to members of the School District community related to the implementation of this policy and Policy 5517.02. The District’s sexual harassment training information shall be retained for not less than seven (7) years. VII. Employee Sexual Conduct Any teacher, administrator, coach, or other school authority who engages in sexual conduct with a student may also be guilty of a crime. VIII. Effect of Other Policies The definition of harassment that is not based upon protected categories is contained within the Code of Student Conduct, referenced in Policy 5500. Florida law also defines Bullying and Harassment, as outlined in Policy 5517.01. In accordance with Florida law, Policy 5517.03 defines Dating Violence or Abuse. Policy 5136.02 defines Sexting.
