532 Section 17. Effective June 29, 2016, section 1004.935,
533 Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
534 1004.935 Adults with Disabilities Workforce Education Pilot
535 Program.—
536 (1) The Adults with Disabilities Workforce Education Pilot
537 Program is established in the Department of Education through
538 June 30, 2016, in Hardee, DeSoto, Manatee, and Sarasota Counties
539 to provide the option of receiving a scholarship for instruction
540 at private schools for up to 30 students who:
541 (a) Have a disability;
542 (b) Are 22 years of age;
543 (c) Are receiving instruction from an instructor in a
544 private school to meet the high school graduation requirements
545 in s. 1002.3105(5) or s. 1003.4282;
546 (d) Do not have a standard high school diploma or a special
547 high school diploma; and
548 (e) Receive “supported employment services,” which means
549 employment that is located or provided in an integrated work
550 setting with earnings paid on a commensurate wage basis and for
551 which continued support is needed for job maintenance.
552
553 As used in this section, the term “student with a disability”
554 includes a student who is documented as having an intellectual
555 disability; a speech impairment; a language impairment; a
556 hearing impairment, including deafness; a visual impairment,
557 including blindness; a dual sensory impairment; an orthopedic
558 impairment; another health impairment; an emotional or
559 behavioral disability; a specific learning disability,
560 including, but not limited to, dyslexia, dyscalculia, or
561 developmental aphasia; a traumatic brain injury; a developmental
562 delay; or autism spectrum disorder.
563 (2) A student participating in the pilot program may
564 continue to participate in the program until the student
565 graduates from high school or reaches the age of 40 years,
566 whichever occurs first.
567 (3) Supported employment services may be provided at more
568 than one site.
569 (4) The provider of supported employment services must be a
570 nonprofit corporation under s. 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue
571 Code which serves Hardee County, DeSoto County, Manatee County,
572 or Sarasota County and must contract with a private school in
573 this state which meets the requirements in subsection (5).
574 (5) A private school that participates in the pilot program
575 may be sectarian or nonsectarian and must:
576 (a) Be academically accountable for meeting the educational
577 needs of the student by annually providing to the provider of
578 supported employment services a written explanation of the

584 services all documentation required for a student’s
585 participation, including the private school’s and student’s fee
586 schedules, at least 30 days before any quarterly scholarship
587 payment is made for the student. A student is not eligible to
588 receive a quarterly scholarship payment if the private school
589 fails to meet this deadline.
590
591 The inability of a private school to meet the requirements of
592 this subsection constitutes a basis for the ineligibility of the
593 private school to participate in the pilot program.
594 (6)(a) If the student chooses to participate in the pilot
595 program and is accepted by the provider of supported employment
596 services, the student must notify the Department of Education of
597 his or her acceptance into the program 60 days before the first
598 scholarship payment and before participating in the pilot
599 program in order to be eligible for the scholarship.
600 (b) Upon receipt of a scholarship warrant, the student or
601 parent to whom the warrant is made must restrictively endorse
602 the warrant to the provider of supported employment services for
603 deposit into the account of the provider. The student or parent
604 may not designate any entity or individual associated with the
605 participating provider of supported employment services as the
606 student’s or parent’s attorney in fact to endorse a scholarship
607 warrant. A participant who fails to comply with this paragraph
608 forfeits the scholarship.
609 (7) Funds for the scholarship shall be provided from the
610 appropriation from the school district’s Workforce Development
611 Fund in the General Appropriations Act for students who reside
612 in the Hardee County School District, the DeSoto County School
613 District, the Manatee County School District, or the Sarasota
614 County School District. During the pilot program, The
615 scholarship amount granted for an eligible student with a
616 disability shall be equal to the cost per unit of a full-time
617 equivalent adult general education student, multiplied by the
618 adult general education funding factor, and multiplied by the
619 district cost differential pursuant to the formula required by
620 s. 1011.80(6)(a) for the district in which the student resides.
621 (8) Upon notification by the Department of Education that
622 it has received the required documentation, the Chief Financial
623 Officer shall make scholarship payments in four equal amounts no
624 later than September 1, November 1, February 1, and April 1 of
625 each academic year in which the scholarship is in force. The
626 initial payment shall be made after the Department of Education
627 verifies that the student was accepted into the pilot program,
628 and subsequent payments shall be made upon verification of
629 continued participation in the pilot program. Payment must be by
630 individual warrant made payable to the student or parent and
631 mailed by the Department of Education to the provider of
632 supported employment services, and the student or parent shall
633 restrictively endorse the warrant to the provider of supported
634 employment services for deposit into the account of that
635 provider.
636 (9) Subsequent to each scholarship payment, the Department
637 of Education shall request from the Department of Financial
638 Services a sample of endorsed warrants to review and confirm
639 compliance with endorsement requirements.
640 Section 18. Effective July 1, 2016, and upon the expiration
641 of the amendment to section 1011.62, Florida Statutes, made by
642 chapter 2015-222, Laws of Florida, paragraphs (e) and (o) of
643 subsection (1), paragraph (a) of subsection (4), and present
644 subsection (13) of that section are amended, present subsections
645 (13), (14), and (15) of that section are redesignated as
646 subsections (14), (15), and (16), respectively, and a new
647 subsection (13) is added to that section, to read:
648 1011.62 Funds for operation of schools.—If the annual
649 allocation from the Florida Education Finance Program to each
650 district for operation of schools is not determined in the
651 annual appropriations act or the substantive bill implementing
652 the annual appropriations act, it shall be determined as
653 follows:
654 (1) COMPUTATION OF THE BASIC AMOUNT TO BE INCLUDED FOR
655 OPERATION.—The following procedure shall be followed in
656 determining the annual allocation to each district for
657 operation:
658 (e) Funding model for exceptional student education
659 programs.—
660 1.a. The funding model uses basic, at-risk, support levels
661 IV and V for exceptional students and career Florida Education
662 Finance Program cost factors, and a guaranteed allocation for
663 exceptional student education programs. Exceptional education
664 cost factors are determined by using a matrix of services to
665 document the services that each exceptional student will
666 receive. The nature and intensity of the services indicated on
667 the matrix shall be consistent with the services described in
668 each exceptional student’s individual educational plan. The
669 Department of Education shall review and revise the descriptions
670 of the services and supports included in the matrix of services
671 for exceptional students and shall implement those revisions
672 before the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year.
673 b. In order to generate funds using one of the two weighted
674 cost factors, a matrix of services must be completed at the time
675 of the student’s initial placement into an exceptional student
676 education program and at least once every 3 years by personnel
677 who have received approved training. Nothing listed in the
678 matrix shall be construed as limiting the services a school
679 district must provide in order to ensure that exceptional
680 students are provided a free, appropriate public education.
681 c. Students identified as exceptional, in accordance with
682 chapter 6A-6, Florida Administrative Code, who do not have a
683 matrix of services as specified in sub-subparagraph b. shall
684 generate funds on the basis of full-time-equivalent student
685 membership in the Florida Education Finance Program at the same
686 funding level per student as provided for basic students.
687 Additional funds for these exceptional students will be provided
688 through the guaranteed allocation designated in subparagraph 2.
689 2. For students identified as exceptional who do not have a
690 matrix of services and students who are gifted in grades K
691 through 8, there is created a guaranteed allocation to provide
692 these students with a free appropriate public education, in
693 accordance with s. 1001.42(4)(l) and rules of the State Board of
694 Education, which shall be allocated initially annually to each
695 school district in the amount provided in the General
696 Appropriations Act. These funds shall be supplemental in
697 addition to the funds appropriated for the basic funding level
698 on the basis of FTE student membership in the Florida Education
699 Finance Program, and the amount allocated for each school
700 district shall not be recalculated once during the year, based
701 on actual student membership from the October FTE survey. Upon
702 recalculation, if the generated allocation is greater than the
703 amount provided in the General Appropriations Act, the total
704 shall be prorated to the level of the appropriation based on
705 each district’s share of the total recalculated amount. These
706 funds shall be used to provide special education and related
707 services for exceptional students and students who are gifted in
708 grades K through 8. Beginning with the 2007-2008 fiscal year, A
709 district’s expenditure of funds from the guaranteed allocation
710 for students in grades 9 through 12 who are gifted may not be
711 greater than the amount expended during the 2006-2007 fiscal
712 year for gifted students in grades 9 through 12.
713 (o) Calculation of additional full-time equivalent
714 membership based on successful completion of a career-themed
715 course pursuant to ss. 1003.491, 1003.492, and 1003.493, or
716 courses with embedded CAPE industry certifications or CAPE
717 Digital Tool certificates, and issuance of industry
718 certification identified on the CAPE Industry Certification
719 Funding List pursuant to rules adopted by the State Board of
720 Education or CAPE Digital Tool certificates pursuant to s.
721 1003.4203.—
722 1.a. A value of 0.025 full-time equivalent student
723 membership shall be calculated for CAPE Digital Tool
724 certificates earned by students in elementary and middle school
725 grades.
726 b. A value of 0.1 or 0.2 full-time equivalent student
727 membership shall be calculated for each student who completes a
728 course as defined in s. 1003.493(1)(b) or courses with embedded
729 CAPE industry certifications and who is issued an industry
730 certification identified annually on the CAPE Industry
731 Certification Funding List approved under rules adopted by the
732 State Board of Education. A value of 0.2 full-time equivalent
733 membership shall be calculated for each student who is issued a
734 CAPE industry certification that has a statewide articulation
735 agreement for college credit approved by the State Board of
736 Education. For CAPE industry certifications that do not
737 articulate for college credit, the Department of Education shall
738 assign a full-time equivalent value of 0.1 for each
739 certification. Middle grades students who earn additional FTE
740 membership for a CAPE Digital Tool certificate pursuant to sub
741 subparagraph a. may not use the previously funded examination to
742 satisfy the requirements for earning an industry certification
743 under this sub-subparagraph. Additional FTE membership for an
744 elementary or middle grades student may shall not exceed 0.1 for
745 certificates or certifications earned within the same fiscal
746 year. The State Board of Education shall include the assigned
747 values on the CAPE Industry Certification Funding List under
748 rules adopted by the state board. Such value shall be added to
749 the total full-time equivalent student membership for grades 6
750 through 12 in the subsequent year for courses that were not
751 provided through dual enrollment. CAPE industry certifications
752 earned through dual enrollment must be reported and funded
753 pursuant to s. 1011.80. However, if a student earns a
754 certification through a dual enrollment course and the
755 certification is not a fundable certification on the
756 postsecondary certification funding list, or the dual enrollment
757 certification is earned as a result of an agreement between a
758 school district and a nonpublic postsecondary institution, the
759 bonus value shall be funded in the same manner as other nondual
760 enrollment course industry certifications. In such cases, the
761 school district may provide for an agreement between the high
762 school and the technical center, or the school district and the
763 postsecondary institution may enter into an agreement for
764 equitable distribution of the bonus funds.
765 c. A value of 0.3 full-time equivalent student membership
766 shall be calculated for student completion of the courses and
767 the embedded certifications identified on the CAPE Industry
768 Certification Funding List and approved by the commissioner
769 pursuant to ss. 1003.4203(5)(a) and 1008.44.
770 d. A value of 0.5 full-time equivalent student membership
771 shall be calculated for CAPE Acceleration Industry
772 Certifications that articulate for 15 to 29 college credit
773 hours, and 1.0 full-time equivalent student membership shall be
774 calculated for CAPE Acceleration Industry Certifications that
775 articulate for 30 or more college credit hours pursuant to CAPE
776 Acceleration Industry Certifications approved by the
777 commissioner pursuant to ss. 1003.4203(5)(b) and 1008.44.
778 2. Each district must allocate at least 80 percent of the
779 funds provided for CAPE industry certification, in accordance
780 with this paragraph, to the program that generated the funds.
781 This allocation may not be used to supplant funds provided for
782 basic operation of the program.
783 3. For CAPE industry certifications earned in the 2013-2014
784 school year and in subsequent years, the school district shall
785 distribute to each classroom teacher who provided direct
786 instruction toward the attainment of a CAPE industry
787 certification that qualified for additional full-time equivalent
788 membership under subparagraph 1.:
789 a. A bonus in the amount of $25 for each student taught by
790 a teacher who provided instruction in a course that led to the
791 attainment of a CAPE industry certification on the CAPE Industry
792 Certification Funding List with a weight of 0.1.
793 b. A bonus in the amount of $50 for each student taught by
794 a teacher who provided instruction in a course that led to the
795 attainment of a CAPE industry certification on the CAPE Industry
796 Certification Funding List with a weight of 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, and
797 1.0.
798 c. A bonus of $75 for each student taught by a teacher who
799 provided instruction in a course that led to the attainment of a
800 CAPE industry certification on the CAPE Industry Certification
801 Funding List with a weight of 0.3.
802 d. A bonus of $100 for each student taught by a teacher who
803 provided instruction in a course that led to the attainment of a
804 CAPE industry certification on the CAPE Industry Certification
805 Funding List with a weight of 0.5 or 1.0.
806
807 Bonuses awarded pursuant to this paragraph shall be provided to
808 teachers who are employed by the district in the year in which
809 the additional FTE membership calculation is included in the
810 calculation. Bonuses shall be calculated based upon the
811 associated weight of a CAPE industry certification on the CAPE
812 Industry Certification Funding List for the year in which the
813 certification is earned by the student. Any bonus awarded to a
814 teacher under this paragraph may not exceed $2,000 in any given
815 school year and is in addition to any regular wage or other
816 bonus the teacher received or is scheduled to receive.
817 (4) COMPUTATION OF DISTRICT REQUIRED LOCAL EFFORT.—The
818 Legislature shall prescribe the aggregate required local effort
819 for all school districts collectively as an item in the General
820 Appropriations Act for each fiscal year. The amount that each
821 district shall provide annually toward the cost of the Florida
822 Education Finance Program for kindergarten through grade 12
823 programs shall be calculated as follows:
824 (a) Estimated taxable value calculations.—
825 1.a. Not later than 2 working days before prior to July 19,
826 the Department of Revenue shall certify to the Commissioner of
827 Education its most recent estimate of the taxable value for
828 school purposes in each school district and the total for all
829 school districts in the state for the current calendar year
830 based on the latest available data obtained from the local
831 property appraisers. The value certified shall be the taxable
832 value for school purposes for that year, and no further
833 adjustments shall be made, except those made pursuant to
834 paragraphs (c) and (d), or an assessment roll change required by
835 final judicial decisions as specified in paragraph (15)(b)
836 (14)(b). Not later than July 19, the Commissioner of Education
837 shall compute a millage rate, rounded to the next highest one
838 one-thousandth of a mill, which, when applied to 96 percent of
839 the estimated state total taxable value for school purposes,
840 would generate the prescribed aggregate required local effort
841 for that year for all districts. The Commissioner of Education
842 shall certify to each district school board the millage rate,
843 computed as prescribed in this subparagraph, as the minimum
844 millage rate necessary to provide the district required local
845 effort for that year.
846 b. The General Appropriations Act shall direct the
847 computation of the statewide adjusted aggregate amount for
848 required local effort for all school districts collectively from
849 ad valorem taxes to ensure that no school district’s revenue
850 from required local effort millage will produce more than 90
851 percent of the district’s total Florida Education Finance
852 Program calculation as calculated and adopted by the
853 Legislature, and the adjustment of the required local effort
854 millage rate of each district that produces more than 90 percent
855 of its total Florida Education Finance Program entitlement to a
856 level that will produce only 90 percent of its total Florida
857 Education Finance Program entitlement in the July calculation.
858 2. On the same date as the certification in sub
859 subparagraph 1.a., the Department of Revenue shall certify to
860 the Commissioner of Education for each district:
861 a. Each year for which the property appraiser has certified
862 the taxable value pursuant to s. 193.122(2) or (3), if
863 applicable, since the prior certification under sub-subparagraph
864 1.a.
865 b. For each year identified in sub-subparagraph a., the
866 taxable value certified by the appraiser pursuant to s.
867 193.122(2) or (3), if applicable, since the prior certification
868 under sub-subparagraph 1.a. This is the certification that
869 reflects all final administrative actions of the value
870 adjustment board.
871 (13) FEDERALLY CONNECTED STUDENT SUPPLEMENT.—The federally
872 connected student supplement is created to provide supplemental
873 funding for school districts to support the education of
874 students connected with federally owned military installations,
875 National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) real
876 property, and Indian lands. To be eligible for this supplement,
877 the district must be eligible for federal Impact Aid Program
878 funds under s. 8003 of Title VIII of the Elementary and
879 Secondary Education Act of 1965. The supplement shall be
880 allocated annually to each eligible school district in the
881 amount provided in the General Appropriations Act. The
882 supplement shall be the sum of the student allocation and an
883 exempt property allocation.
884 (a) The student allocation shall be calculated based on the
885 number of students reported for federal Impact Aid Program
886 funds, including students with disabilities, who meet one of the
887 following criteria:
888 1. The student has a parent who is on active duty in the
889 uniformed services or is an accredited foreign government
890 official and military officer. Students with disabilities shall
891 also be reported separately for this category.
892 2. The student resides on eligible federally owned Indian
893 land. Students with disabilities shall also be reported
894 separately for this category.
895 3. The student resides with a civilian parent who lives or
896 works on eligible federal property connected with a military
897 installation or NASA. The number of these students shall be
898 multiplied by a factor of 0.5.
899 (b) The total number of federally connected students
900 calculated under paragraph (a) shall be multiplied by a
901 percentage of the base student allocation as provided in the
902 General Appropriations Act. The total of the number of students
903 with disabilities as reported separately under subparagraphs
904 (a)1. and (a)2. shall be multiplied by an additional percentage
905 of the base student allocation as provided in the General
906 Appropriations Act. The base amount and the amount for students
907 with disabilities shall be summed to provide the student
908 allocation.
909 (c) The exempt property allocation shall be equal to the
910 tax-exempt value of federal impact aid lands reserved as
911 military installations, real property owned by NASA, or eligible
912 federally owned Indian lands located in the district, as of
913 January 1 of the previous year, multiplied by the millage
914 authorized and levied under s. 1011.71(2).
915 (14)(13) QUALITY ASSURANCE GUARANTEE.—The Legislature may
916 annually in the General Appropriations Act determine a
917 percentage increase in funds per K-12 unweighted FTE as a
918 minimum guarantee to each school district. The guarantee shall
919 be calculated from prior year base funding per unweighted FTE
920 student which shall include the adjusted FTE dollars as provided
921 in subsection (15) (14), quality guarantee funds, and actual
922 nonvoted discretionary local effort from taxes. From the base
923 funding per unweighted FTE, the increase shall be calculated for
924 the current year. The current year funds from which the
925 guarantee shall be determined shall include the adjusted FTE
926 dollars as provided in subsection (15) (14) and potential
927 nonvoted discretionary local effort from taxes. A comparison of
928 current year funds per unweighted FTE to prior year funds per
929 unweighted FTE shall be computed. For those school districts
930 which have less than the legislatively assigned percentage
931 increase, funds shall be provided to guarantee the assigned
932 percentage increase in funds per unweighted FTE student. Should
933 appropriated funds be less than the sum of this calculated
934 amount for all districts, the commissioner shall prorate each
935 district’s allocation. This provision shall be implemented to
936 the extent specifically funded.
937 Section 19. Effective July 1, 2016, and upon the expiration
938 of the amendment to section 1011.71, Florida Statutes, made by

950 rate not to exceed the amount certified by the commissioner as

952 required local effort for the current year, pursuant to s.
953 1011.62(4)(a)1. In addition to the required local effort millage
954 levy, each district school board may levy a nonvoted current
955 operating discretionary millage. The Legislature shall prescribe
956 annually in the appropriations act the maximum amount of millage
957 a district may levy.
