1 (c) Assurance that all programs of study are designed
2 to provide a seamless transition to an appropriate
3 postsecondary education and employment.
4 Section 2. (1) A career and technical education
5 program within a comprehensive high school program of study
6 must be certified or endorsed by the appropriate industry to
7 ensure that all components of the program are relevant and
8 appropriate to prepare the student for further education and
9 employment in that industry.
10 (2) Effective July 1, 2006, each career and technical
11 program preparing for postsecondary education and employment
12 offered as part of a comprehensive program of study in a high
13 school must be industry-certified or endorsed, except for
14 courses classified as exploratory, orientation, or practical
15 arts. A student enrolled in a course within a career and
16 technical program that is not industry-certified may not be
17 reported for full-time equivalent funding through the Florida
18 Education Finance Program unless the course is classified as
19 exploratory, orientation, or practical arts. The Department of
20 Education shall assure that each program is certified by July
21 1, 2006, and recertified at least every 5 years. The
22 department shall adopt rules for the certification process,
23 and the rules must establish any necessary procedures for
24 obtaining appropriate business partners and requirements for
25 business and industry involvement in curriculum oversight and
26 equipment procurement.

1 Appropriations Act.
2 (4) Effective July 1, 2006, each career and technical
3 education program offered by a high school and able to be
4 articulated to a postsecondary level must also have an
5 articulation agreement with one or more appropriate
6 postsecondary education institutions to ensure a seamless
7 transition to a related postsecondary program without a loss
8 of credit for the student. Students enrolled in a program that
9 is not articulated to a postsecondary program may not be
10 reported for full-time equivalent student funding through the
11 Florida Education Finance Program unless the course is
12 classified as exploratory, orientation, or practical arts or
13 terminates at the high school level.
14 Section 3. (1) A comprehensive program of study in
15 career and technical education must be designed to ensure
16 that, upon completion of the program of study and graduation
17 from high school, a student is prepared to continue his or her
18 education at a postsecondary education institution and obtain
19 employment. Therefore, a comprehensive career and technical
20 program of study must require of each student:
21 (a) Completion of academic courses with a designation
22 from the Department of Education of level two or above. All
23 credits earned to meet graduation requirements in mathematics,
24 science, and communication must have that designation.

4 and technical education course.
5 (d) Participation in work-based learning experiences,
6 as defined in rule by the Department of Education.
7 (e) Participation in a capstone activity that includes
8 a project related to a career. This activity is designed to
9 apply and demonstrate the competencies and concepts attained
10 in the student's program of study. The Department of Education
11 may specify in rule characteristics of capstone activities
12 that meet the intent of this paragraph.
13 (2) The Legislature intends to recognize with an
14 endorsement on the high school diploma a student who:
15 (a) Completes the requirements for high school
16 graduation as provided in section 232.246, Florida Statutes,
17 and the additional requirements for a comprehensive career and
18 technical program of study provided in subsection (1).

25 prepared to continue into postsecondary education without the
26 need for remediation and that the student has marketable
27 employment skills. The Department of Education may adopt by
28 rule a standard format for the endorsement.
29 (4) For each student who receives the endorsement on
30 his or her diploma, the school district shall receive
31 incentive funding, as provided in section 236.081, Florida

2 (5) A school district that generates funds as a result
3 of industry-certified programs or incentive funding for
4 student achievement of the endorsement must expend the total
5 amount on the comprehensive career and technical program of
6 study. The district may not apply indirect charges to
7 incentive funds earned.
8 Section 4. The Legislature finds that, to adequately
9 assist students in advanced technical and academic career
10 planning, high school guidance counselors and career
11 specialists require preservice and inservice professional
12 development programs that contain sufficient information on
13 career education.
14 (1) Each guidance counselor and career specialist in a
15 school with technical education programs certified as provided
16 in section 2 of this act shall complete 12 inservice points in

24 (2) The Department of Education shall assist guidance
25 counselors and career specialists in attaining the additional
26 inservice required. The State Board of Education shall revise
27 rules governing the certification and recertification of
28 guidance counselors to allow substitution of personal
29 work-based experiences and temporary-employment opportunities
30 in business and industry for the required classroom

3 230.23(4)(d), after the final enrollment estimate is agreed
4 upon, the amount of FTE specified in the agreement, not to
5 exceed the estimate for the specific program as identified in
6 paragraph (c), may be transferred from the participating
7 districts to the district providing the program.
8 3. As part of its calculation of each district's
9 maximum total weighted full-time equivalent student
10 enrollment, the department shall establish separate enrollment
11 ceilings for each of two program groups. Group 1 shall be
12 composed of grades K-3, grades 4-8, and grades 9-12. Group 2
13 shall be composed of students in exceptional student education
14 programs, English for Speakers of Other Languages programs,
15 all basic programs other than the programs in group 1, and all
16 vocational programs in grades 6-12 7-12.
17 a. The weighted enrollment ceiling for group 2
18 programs shall be calculated by multiplying the final
19 enrollment conference estimate for each program by the
20 appropriate program weight. The weighted enrollment ceiling
21 for program group 2 shall be the sum of the weighted

1 group to equal the enrollment ceiling:
2 (I) The weighted enrollment ceiling for each program
3 in the program group shall be subtracted from the weighted
4 enrollment for that program derived from actual enrollments.
5 (II) If the difference calculated under
6 sub-sub-subparagraph (I) is greater than zero for any program,
7 a reduction proportion shall be computed for the program by
8 dividing the absolute value of the difference by the total
9 amount by which the weighted enrollment for the program group
10 exceeds the weighted enrollment ceiling for the program group.
11 (III) The reduction proportion calculated under
12 sub-sub-subparagraph (II) shall be multiplied by the total
13 amount of the program group's enrollment over the ceiling as
14 calculated under sub-sub-subparagraph (I).
15 (IV) The prorated reduction amount calculated under
16 sub-sub-subparagraph (III) shall be subtracted from the
17 program's weighted enrollment. For any calculation of the
18 FEFP, the enrollment ceiling for group 1 shall be calculated
19 by multiplying the actual enrollment for each program in the
20 program group by its appropriate program weight.
21 c. For program group 2, the weighted enrollment
22 ceiling shall be a number not less than the sum obtained by:
23 (I) Multiplying the sum of reported FTE for all
24 programs in the program group that have a cost factor of 1.0
25 or more by 1.0, and
26 (II) By adding this number to the sum obtained by
27 multiplying the projected FTE for all programs with a cost
28 factor less than 1.0 by the actual cost factor.

6 greater than the appropriated unweighted FTE, then the excess
7 unweighted FTE up to the unweighted FTE transferred from group
8 2 to group 1 for each district by the Public School FTE
9 Estimating Conference shall be funded at a weight of 1.0 and
10 added to the funded weighted FTE computed in subparagraph 3.

13 (l) Instruction in career education.--Effective for
14 the 1985-1986 school year and thereafter, District pupil
15 progression plans shall provide for the substitution of
16 vocational courses for the nonelective courses required for
17 high school graduation pursuant to s. 232.246. Beginning July
18 1, 2006, a career and technical course may not be substituted
19 for another required course unless it is part of an
20 industry-certified or endorsed program certified as provided
21 in section 2 of this act. A student in grades 9 through 12 who
22 enrolls in and satisfactorily completes a job-preparatory
23 course program may substitute credit for a portion of the
24 required four credits in English, three credits in
25 mathematics, any credits in social studies, and three credits
