Bill Summary

An act relating to Pre-K-12 education; amending s. 1002.411, F.S.; revising conditions under which a specified scholarship account’s funds revert to the state; amending s. 1011.62, F.S.; providing a supplement for districts that have a decline in enrollment; requiring that fiscally constrained districts receive a higher calculation than non fiscally constrained districts; providing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill makes changes to Florida's Pre-K-12 education system by revising when funds from a scholarship account, known as the New Worlds Scholarship Account, will be returned to the state, specifically by changing the condition from an account being inactive for one fiscal year to a fixed date of December 31, 2026. Additionally, it introduces a supplement for school districts experiencing a decline in student enrollment, calculated by multiplying the percentage of enrollment decline by the per-student funding amount from the Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP), a state funding formula for public schools; this supplement will be higher for "fiscally constrained" districts, meaning those with limited local tax revenue, compared to "non-fiscally constrained" districts. The bill is set to become effective on July 1, 2026.
