10 ADULT & COMMUNITY EDUCATION Credit Tips
1. If you want to establish credit in the United States you need to make payments on time or even better, make your payments before the due date to services such as: electric, water, home phone, cable television, school loans, mobile phone, any type of bill that you receive monthly. These bills must be in your name and social security number. 2. To obtain your first credit card, apply for one at your bank. Ask for a Security Credit Card. You will have to make a security deposit of $250 into a savings account in your name. This deposit will be return to you after a year as long as you made your payments on time. 3. Store credit cards are also a way to establish credit however you would have to use up to 35% of your credit limit to obtain a good score. You can also ask for a increase in your credit limit to be able to keep utilizing the 35% of your limit. 4. When buying a vehicle even if you are able to pay cash take out a loan, give a down payment and make monthly payments. Make sure the loan is under your name and social security number. 5. A credit score is a numerical expression based on a statistical analysis of a person's credit files, to represent the creditworthiness of that person. A credit score is primarily based on credit report information, typically sourced from credit bureaus. 6. Use a checking account to make your payments because financial entities are the ones that certify your economic capability and timely payments. 7. Once you have two lines of credit (car loan and credit card) with a minimum credit limit of $5.000 for a year, you will be able to apply for a home loan or mortgage.

SCHOOL HEALTH REQUIREMENTS Florida Statute requires that all students entering Florida schools for the first time present a certificate of physical examination performed within twelve (12) months prior to enrollment. All students enrolling in Collier County Public Schools must also present documentation of current immunizations.
IMMUNIZATIONS Students must present a Florida Department of Health Certificate of Immunization (DH 680), the only document schools accept as proof of immunization. This may be obtained from a private physician or the Collier County Health Department. This document should be obtained prior to enrollment. The Collier County Health Department provides required immunizations free of charge. Private physicians can also provide immunizations. Any child whose parent or guardian presents a Certificate of Religious Exemption from Immunization Form may be granted exemption from the immunization requirement. The Religious Exemption from Immunizations form (DH 681) is only granted by county health departments. No student may attend school without proper documentation of immunization or exemption. No exemption period is permitted while waiting for transfer of records. (A homeless child, as defined in F.S. 1003.01, shall be given a temporary exemption for up to 30 school days.)
Electronically transferred records containing a student’s completed immunization information are acceptable forms of documentation for students transferring from one Florida school district to another. A copy of the actual paper certificate must be forwarded for the student record. Schools must refuse admittance to and temporarily exclude any child who is not in compliance with immunization requirements.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS All students entering Florida Schools for the first time must present a certificate of physical examination performed within twelve (12) months prior to enrollment. The Florida DH 3040 form is recommended to document a physical examination. However, any record may be used that includes at minimum all the elements contained in the form DH 3040.
Although this is a one-time requirement for grades PK-12, upon first time entry into any Florida school, students who have previously attended any public or private school in Florida must have documentation of a physical exam.
A child may be exempted from the requirement for a physical examination upon written request of the parent or guardian stating objection to such examination on religious grounds. The Collier County Health Department does not provide pre- entrance school physicals. Students new to Florida may be referred to the Ronald McDonald CareMobile.
PROOF OF AGE Any student entering PK-12 shall show proof of age. Acceptable documents are: birth certificate; (original or certified copy); certificate of baptism with date and place accompanied by an affidavit sworn to by the parents; insurance policy on the child’s life which has been in force for at least two years; bona fide contemporary Bible record of the child’s birth accompanied by an affidavit sworn to by the parent; passport or certificate of arrival in the United States stating child’s age; transcript or record of age shown in the child’s school record (at least four years prior) stating date of birth; affidavit of age sworn to by the parent accompanied by a certificate of age signed by a public health officer or private physician. A homeless child, as defined in s.1003.21 shall be given temporary exemption from this section for 30 school days.

39 ADULT & COMMUNITY EDUCATION Traffic Violation
What to do if you Get a Traffic Ticket in Florida You are required to satisfy your traffic citation within thirty (30) calendar days. Your options may depend on your driving record but if your drivers license is in good standing typical options are as follows:
Elect traffic school option Pay the civil penalty Request a court appearance
Traffic School Option The benefits of electing the traffic school option in Florida are that your auto insurance cannot go up and your policy cannot be cancelled. If you complete a state approved traffic school course and submit your certificate of completion to the clerk of court in the county where you received the ticket by their specified deadline adjudication is withheld, which means you are not deemed guilty and you received no points. Note that when you select traffic school your fine will be reduced - this will vary by county see the chart below.
Florida Approved Traffic Schools 123Driving.com offers Florida DMV approved traffic school online Another option is to look in your local yellow pages under traffic school or driving instruction
State of Florida Policy for Electing Traffic School Florida Statute 626.9541(1)(o) 12 States: "No insurer shall impose or request an additional premium, cancel a policy, or issue a non renewal notice on any insurance policy or contract because of any traffic infraction when adjudication of guilt is withheld and no points have been accessed pursuant to s.318.14(9) and (10). However, this subparagraph does not apply to traffic infractions involving accidents in which the insurer has incurred a loss due to the fault of the insured."
Pay the Civil Penalty If you pay the full fine points will be applied against your drivers license when applicable and your auto insurance rates may go up or your policy may be cancelled.
Request a Court Appearance If you elect the option to request a court appearance for the violation(s) and it is determined that an infraction has been committed, the Court may adjudicate you guilty, assess points, impose a civil penalty not to exceed $500 ($1000 for violations involving a death or speeding in school/construction zones) or require you to attend traffic school, or all of the above. Additionally, your insurance rates may go up or your policy may be cancelled. If you speed in a school zone or construction zone your fine can be doubled.

Miami-Dade Reentry Resource Guide Miami-Dade 2010 Reentry Resource Guide
ive years ago Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a U.S. Department of Justice initiative to reduce violent crimes in South Florida led by the United States Attorney’s Office and specifically James Swain, FExecutive Assistant United States Attorney/PSN Coordinator and James “J.D.” Smith, Law Enforcement and Community Coordinator, embarked on a strategy to enhance public safety by assisting people who are coming home from prisons and jails. To that end, one of the important objectives of PSN’s reentry strategy is to provide organizations working with inmates, formerly incarcerated people, and their families with a resource directory in support of successful reentry and enhanced public safety. The first edition of the Miami-Dade Reentry Resource Guide, published in 2008, was utilized by an estimated 20,000+ individuals and based on its success we have published this 2010 guide.
Special appreciation goes out to the members of the Miami-Dade Reentry Task Force for their assistance in identifying relevant listings and proofreading - without their participation this project would not be possi- ble. We would also like to express our appreciation to PSN’s fiscal agent, the Miami Coalition for a Safe and Drug-Free Community and our program manager Naydine Fulton-Jones at the U.S. Department of Jus- tice/Bureau of Justice Assistance in Washington, D.C.
An extra special appreciation goes to the Florida Department of Corrections/Region IV under the leadership of Director Marta Villacorta and the Broward Correctional Institution’s team including Warden Jennifer Folsom, Assistant Warden Norman Jenkins, Instructor William Amos, Volunteer Liliane Rique, and the extraordinary inmates in the Commercial Art Technology Program who designed the cover for the 2010 Miami-Dade Reentry Resource Guide.
We welcome your advice and feedback on the guide so that the next edition can be even more effective. Furthermore, we invite you to participate in our ongoing efforts to improve the lives of formerly incarcerated people by joining the Miami-Dade Reentry Task Force, a dynamic group of 70+ individuals and organizations working tirelessly to improve public safety. You can make a difference in our community!
To become a member of the Miami-Dade Reentry Task Force, receive additional copies of the 2010 Miami-Dade Reentry Resource Guide, or to receive regular reentry updates, please send me your contact information – my e-mail address is [email protected]. We hope you will join our efforts.
Best regards,

Miami-Dade Reentry Resource Guide BENEFITS OF HIRING AN EX-OFFENDER:
Employers can benefit financially from the Federal Work Tax-Credit program by hiring an ex-offender. Employers can benefit from the Federal Bonding Program which provides them with insurance for hiring an ex-offender. In general, ex-offenders are employees who are just as reliable as non ex-offenders. They follow instructions well and are timely employees. Many ex-offenders are job ready and have acquired skills (such as certificates) while incarcerated. As a result, employers can benefit from their skills. If the ex-offender is under community supervision, employers will have a direct point of contact and resource for their company which may assist them with job retention. Additionally, the employer is made aware that their employee (ex-offender) is drug tested and that he/she must maintain employment as a condition of supervision. These aspects, of the ex-offender, may increase work productivity and reliability. Once an ex-offender becomes employed, he/she becomes a tax paying citizen and a contributor to the community. Statistics reveal that if an ex-offender is employed he/she is less likely to recidivate. In short, he/she becomes a productive member of society. By employing an ex-offender the "Employer" becomes part of a solution. The ex-of- fender is given a second chance, which results in a successful transition into family, culture, community and self. Many ex-offenders have received training specifically designed to assist and meet the needs of employability and job placement. In turn, employers save time and money for training.

ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUG ABUSE TREATMENT
If you need help for an alcohol or other drug related problem and do not have insurance or the ability to pay, the phone number listed below can direct you to places that may help. Whether you are in need of an assessment, sober housing, a support group like Alcoholics Anonymous, or a treatment program, there is hope! Dial 211 – Miami-Dade Community Resource Directory (Operates 24 hours) To help you understand your options, the following information may be helpful for you or someone you know: • Agencies that offer treatment provide an assessment as a first step.
