17 Section 2. Section 236.6851, Florida Statutes, is
18 created to read:
19 236.6851 Analysis of facilities operations and
20 maintenance services.--
21 (1) It is the intent of the Legislature to promote
22 effective and cost-efficient noninstructional services.
23 Accordingly, the Legislature believes that this intent is best
24 served when school districts analyze the provision of
25 facilities operations and maintenance to determine the optimal
26 balance between the costs associated with providing such
27 services and the quality of the services provided. When this
28 intent is best served by private-sector providers, school
29 districts may contract with such providers for these services.
30 Any costs savings that result shall be redirected to
31 educational services for students. For purposes of this

18 process, the district school board, at a regularly scheduled
19 board meeting, shall disclose and discuss the responses to the
20 request for proposals or solicitation of bids, including a

25 provision of contracted facilities operations and maintenance
26 services pursuant to this section shall be retained by the
27 school district and shall be used for the improvement of
28 educational services for students. For purposes of this
29 section, educational services may include any or all of the
30 cost savings to be paid as a bonus to classroom teachers.
