1 allocation shall be determined as follows:
2 (a)(1) The growth allocation for each school district
3 shall be calculated as follows:
4 1.(a) Subtract from that district's projected
5 full-time equivalent membership of students in basic and
6 special programs in grades K-12 used in determining the
7 initial allocation of the Florida Education Finance Program,
8 the prior year's full-time equivalent membership of students
9 in basic and special programs in grades K-12 for that
10 district.
11 2.(b) Multiply any such increase in full-time
12 equivalent student membership by the allocation for a set of
13 instructional materials, as determined by the department, or
14 as provided for in the General Appropriations Act.
15 3.(c) The amount thus determined shall be that
16 district's initial allocation for growth for the school year.
17 However, the department shall recompute and adjust the initial
18 allocation based on actual full-time equivalent student
19 membership data for that year.
20 (b)(2) The maintenance of the instructional materials
21 allocation for each school district shall be calculated by
22 multiplying each district's prior year full-time equivalent
23 membership of students in basic and special programs in grades
24 K-12 by the allocation for maintenance of a set of
25 instructional materials as provided for in the General
26 Appropriations Act. The amount thus determined shall be that
27 district's initial allocation for maintenance for the school
28 year; however, the department shall recompute and adjust the
29 initial allocation based on such actual full-time equivalent
30 student membership data for that year.

10 implementation of instructional materials programs. The report
