Now Offering the Restricted Barber Program!

Dear First Coast Barber Academy Students, Staff, & Customers,

As the impact of COVID-19 grows, we think it is important that you hear directly from us about the safety measures and operational changes we have enacted to keep you and our students safe.

Our focus remains on the health and safety of our students and customers while doing our part to restrict the spread of disease. We know it is critical for us to be transparent with information, and to be as proactive and responsive as we can be.
Cleaning and Sanitation

Our employees strictly adhere to FCB Academy's Standard Operating Procedures at the highest level of compliance. Additionally, touch points such as our door handles, restrooms, keypads, student tools, stations, trash receptacles and any self-service dispensers are cleaned and sanitized at an increased frequency.

Hand washing have been a mandated in our standard operating procedures, but we have enhanced these protocols with an addition of hand sanitizer.

Employee Health and Wellness

We continue to reinforce our policy for employees & students reporting illness. We are ensuring those employees/students that have been exposed to COVID 19 do not come to work/school. If there is concern for an employee/student, be it COVID-19 exposure or suspected illness, we work with local a cleaning department to sanitize and close the school as necessary.

We have implemented face masks for school employees/students. We will continue to promote social distancing within our school.

Serving our Customers with Limited Contact

We continue to adhere to government mandates and local guidelines for schools operations in this jurisdiction, but as states begin to reopen businesses, we assure you we will act with your best interest and safety in mind, maintaining social distancing measures and continuing to make cleanliness a top priority.

Health of our Business

As the COVID-19 crisis began to unfold in early March, we quickly recognized it served as an existential threat to our business and the livelihoods of our employees. Our main priority was and remains to take actions that ensure our business remains solvent during and after this crisis, protecting the jobs of our employees in the process.

This situation continues to change daily and as such, we will continue to follow the guidance provided by the local health departments. In addition, we promise to do all that we can to keep our employees/students, and customers and the community safe – all while delivering you the best student services and experience we can.

Thank you for your continued support and patience as we navigate this challenging time.

Sincerely,
Christopher Dickens/CEO

At First Coast Barber Academy, we strive to give our students the best even in times of hardship. Since the outbreak of coronavirus, many people have experienced financial difficulties due to various business closures for an extended period of time. Congress has set aside funds allotted to the Education Stabilization Fund through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) for the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF). In efforts to reduce the financial burden we immediately made the decision to apply for this financial relief and disburse $41,973 in grants for our students effected by the financial impact of coronavirus.

We acknowledge that First Coast Barber Academy has signed and returned to the Department the Certification and Agreement and the assurance that the institution has used, or intends to use, no less than 50 percent of the funds received under Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act to provide Emergency Financial Aid Grants to students. Our institution has received $83,945 from the Department pursuant to the institution’s Certification and Agreement [for] Emergency Financial Aid Grants to Students. 25 total number of students at our institution are eligible to participate in the Federal student financial aid programs under Section 484 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, and thus are eligible to receive Emergency Financial Aid Grants to students under Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act. We determined that we would evenly disburse these funds. "As of today we have been able to give 21 out of 25 students a total of $34,143.40. We are very grateful for the Department of Education and the CARES ACT for these funds. 

Total amount HEERF Funds $37,200.76

Total amount awarded to students to this date $7,800.46
