229.085 Custody of educational funds.--
(1) All funds received by the Department of Education shall be deposited in the State Treasury subject to disbursement in such manner and for such purpose as the Legislature may by law provide. However, funds held in trust for student organizations which are established and operated in conjunction with public school or community college programs may, upon approval by the state board, be exempted from this section and deposited outside the State Treasury.
(2) There is created in the Department of Education the Projects, Contracts, and Grants Trust Fund. If, in executing the terms of such grants or contracts for specific projects, the employment of personnel shall be required, such personnel shall not be subject to the requirements of s. 216.262(1)(a). The personnel employed to plan and administer such projects shall be considered in time-limited employment not to exceed the duration of the grant or until completion of the project, whichever first occurs. Such employees shall not acquire retention rights under the Career Service System, the provisions of 1s. 110.051(1) to the contrary notwithstanding. Any employee holding permanent career service status in a Department of Education position who is appointed to a position under the Projects, Contracts, and Grants Trust Fund shall retain such permanent status in the career service position.
