18  Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) each school year is

19  contingent on full funding for low-performing schools in that

24  subsequent fiscal years, "full funding" means an amount equal

25  to the funds appropriated for low-performing schools in the

26  prior fiscal year, adjusted annually for inflation and

27  increases in population of students in "D" and "F" schools.
