Bill > S0834

This bill revises how "full-time equivalent student" (FTE), a measure used to calculate school funding, is determined in Florida. Specifically, it removes references to "double-session school" and "experimental school calendar" when defining a "full-time student," simplifying the definition to focus on standard instructional hours. The bill also clarifies that for students attending schools that operate for less than the minimum required term, their FTE will be calculated proportionally based on the actual instructional hours provided compared to the minimum term requirement. This change aims to ensure equitable funding for schools with shorter operational periods.
