Overview

RULE:

6A-1.045111

Hourly Equivalent to 180-Day School Year and 250-Day School Year for Juvenile Justice Education Programs

PURPOSE:

Delete the instructional hours requirement for double-session schools; and add a provision that establishes full-time equivalent (FTE) student membership reporting in schools that operate for less than the minimum term. Chapter 2016-237, Laws of Florida, replaces the provision for a double-session school with a provision to determine an equitable method of equivalent funding for schools operating under emergency conditions, which schools have been approved by the department to operate for less than the minimum term as provided in section 1011.60(2), Florida Statutes (F.S.). Chapter 2016-237, Laws of Florida, also includes an addition to section 1011.61(1)(b), F.S., that addresses reporting for FTE students who receive instruction in schools that operate for less than the minimum term.

SUMMARY:

As a result of changes in the statutes during the 2016 legislative session, rule 6A-1.045111, F.A.C., is amended to remove an obsolete subsection and establish a provision for FTE student membership reporting in schools that operate for less than the minimum term.
