1 1. The Department of Education is authorized and
2 directed to review all district programs and enrollment
3 projections and calculate a maximum total weighted full-time
4 equivalent student enrollment for each district for the K-12
5 FEFP.
6 2. Maximum enrollments calculated by the department
7 shall be derived from enrollment estimates used by the
8 Legislature to calculate the FEFP. If two or more districts
9 enter into an agreement under the provisions of s.
10 1001.42(4)(d), after the final enrollment estimate is agreed
11 upon, the amount of FTE specified in the agreement, not to
12 exceed the estimate for the specific program as identified in
13 paragraph (c), may be transferred from the participating
14 districts to the district providing the program.
15 3. As part of its calculation of each district's
16 maximum total weighted full-time equivalent student
17 enrollment, the department shall establish separate enrollment
18 ceilings for each of two program groups. Group 1 shall be
19 composed of basic programs for grades K-3, grades 4-8, and
20 grades 9-12. Group 2 shall be composed of students in
21 exceptional student education programs support levels IV and
22 V, English for Speakers of Other Languages programs, and all
23 career programs in grades 9-12 7-12.
24 a. For any calculation of the FEFP, the enrollment
25 ceiling for group 1 shall be calculated by multiplying the
26 actual enrollment for each program group in the program by its
27 appropriate program weight.
28 b.a. The weighted enrollment ceiling for group 2
29 programs shall be calculated by multiplying the final
30 enrollment conference estimate for each program by the
31 appropriate program weight as provided in the General

1 Appropriations Act. The weighted enrollment ceiling for
2 program group 2 shall be the sum of the weighted enrollment
3 ceilings for each program in the program group, plus the
4 increase in weighted full-time equivalent student membership
5 from the prior year for clients of the Department of Children
6 and Family Services and the Department of Juvenile Justice.
7 c.b. If, for any calculation of the FEFP, the weighted
8 enrollment for program group 2, derived by multiplying actual
9 enrollments by appropriate program weights, exceeds the
10 enrollment ceiling for that group, the following procedure
11 shall be followed to reduce the weighted enrollment for that
12 group to equal the enrollment ceiling:
13 (I) The weighted enrollment ceiling for each program
14 in the program group shall be subtracted from the weighted
15 enrollment for that program derived from actual enrollments.
16 (II) If the difference calculated under
17 sub-sub-subparagraph (I) is greater than zero for any program,
18 a reduction proportion shall be computed for the program by
19 dividing the absolute value of the difference by the total
20 amount by which the weighted enrollment for the program group
21 exceeds the weighted enrollment ceiling for the program group.
22 (III) The reduction proportion calculated under
23 sub-sub-subparagraph (II) shall be multiplied by the total
24 amount of the program group's enrollment over the ceiling as
25 calculated under sub-sub-subparagraph (I).
26 (IV) The prorated reduction amount calculated under
27 sub-sub-subparagraph (III) shall be subtracted from the
28 program's weighted enrollment to produce a revised program
29 weighted enrollment.
30 (V) The prorated reduction amount calculated under
31 sub-sub-subparagraph (III) shall be divided by the appropriate

1 program weight and the result added to the revised program
2 weighted enrollment computed in sub-sub-subparagraph (IV). For
3 any calculation of the FEFP, the enrollment ceiling for group
4 1 shall be calculated by multiplying the actual enrollment for
5 each program in the program group by its appropriate program
6 weight.
7 c. For program group 2, the weighted enrollment
8 ceiling shall be a number not less than the sum obtained by:
9 (I) Multiplying the sum of reported FTE for all
10 programs in the program group that have a cost factor of 1.0
11 or more by 1.0, and
12 (II) By adding this number to the sum obtained by
13 multiplying the projected FTE for all programs with a cost
14 factor less than 1.0 by the actual cost factor.
15 4. Following completion of the weighted enrollment
16 ceiling calculation as provided in subparagraph 3., a
17 supplemental capping calculation shall be employed for those
18 districts that are over their weighted enrollment ceiling. For
19 each such district, the total reported unweighted FTE
20 enrollment for group 2 programs shall be compared with the
21 total appropriated unweighted FTE enrollment for group 2
22 programs. If the total reported unweighted FTE for group 2 is
23 greater than the appropriated unweighted FTE, then the excess
24 unweighted FTE up to the unweighted FTE transferred from group
25 2 to group 1 for each district by the Public School FTE
26 Estimating Conference shall be funded at a weight of 1.0 and
27 added to the funded weighted FTE computed in subparagraph 3.
