AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to Florida's postsecondary education system. It requires the Commissioner of Education to annually review career and technical education (CTE) program offerings to ensure they align with employer demand and provide students with opportunities for high-wage jobs. The bill also revises the Florida College System Performance-Based Incentive metrics to include measures for dual enrollment and collegiate high school program students. Additionally, it establishes a "reverse transfer" agreement to award associate in arts degrees to students who transfer to a state university before completing the degree. The bill authorizes state universities and Florida College System institutions to waive application, tuition, and related fees for certain students who previously attended but have not enrolled in the past five years. Finally, the bill provides performance funding for Florida College System institutions based on the number of home education, private school, and associate degree completions in dual enrollment and collegiate high school programs.
