Overview

RULE:

6A-1.0451

Florida Education Finance Program Student Membership Surveys

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the rule amendment is to revise the schedule for district submission of amendments to student membership survey data via the statewide comprehensive management information system in order to allow data values to be finalized in a more timely manner. The effect is to establish firm calendared deadlines for amendments, and allow for final reporting of Florida Education Finance Program Student Membership Survey data in a shorter time period. Additionally, former subsection (8) requiring all students in a course to be eligible exceptional students in order for the student to be reported in a special program cost factor has been deleted as this requirement became obsolete with the implementation of the matrix of services authorized in Section 1011.62(1)(c), Florida Statutes. The effect of the amendments will be consistency between rule and governing statutes.

SUMMARY:

This rule provides for uniform dates for completing and reporting full-time equivalent student membership surveys in each school district for the Florida Education Finance Program. The language includes uniform dates for each survey and instructions for reporting the data to the Department. The amendment revises the timelines for districts to finalize the data for each survey period and removes obsolete language.
