     (8)  DECLINE IN FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT STUDENTS.--In those

8

districts where there is a decline between prior year and current

9

year unweighted FTE students, a percent 50 percent of the decline

10

in the unweighted FTE students as determined by the Legislature

11

shall be multiplied by the prior year calculated FEFP per

12

unweighted FTE student and shall be added to the allocation for

13

that district. For this purpose, the calculated FEFP shall be

14

computed by multiplying the weighted FTE students by the base

15

student allocation and then by the district cost differential. If

16

a district transfers a program to another institution not under

17

the authority of the district's school board, including a charter

18

technical career center, the decline is to be multiplied by a

19

factor of 0.15. However, if the funds provided for the Florida

20

Education Finance Program in the General Appropriations Act for

21

any fiscal year are reduced by a subsequent appropriation for

22

that fiscal year, the percent of the decline in the unweighted

23

FTE students to be funded shall be determined by the Legislature

24

and designated in the subsequent appropriation.
