AI Summary
This bill revises the method of calculating the district cost differential used in determining the annual allocation to school districts from the Florida Education Finance Program. Beginning in the 2020-2021 fiscal year, the district cost differential will be calculated by multiplying the most recent 3-year average wage level index for each school district by 0.008 and then adding 0.200 to the product. The Department of Education must consult with stakeholders, including school districts, industry representatives, and experts, during the development of the wage level index, which must be developed and calculated by January 1, 2020. The bill also removes the provision that allowed the Department of Education to access certain confidential taxpayer information for the purpose of calculating the district cost differential.
