1 Trust Fund to be calculated by computing the capital outlay
2 full-time equivalent membership as determined by the
3 Department of Education. Such membership must include, but is
4 not limited to, kindergarten through 12th grade students,
5 except hospital and homebound part-time students, students who
6 are career education students, and adult disabled students who
7 are enrolled in school district career centers. The capital
8 outlay full-time equivalent membership shall be determined for
9 kindergarten through the 12th grade and for career centers by
10 averaging the unweighted full-time equivalent student
11 membership for the second and third surveys and comparing the
12 results on a school-by-school basis with the Florida Inventory
13 for School Houses. The capital outlay full-time equivalent
14 membership by grade level organization shall be used in making
15 the following calculation: the capital outlay full-time
16 equivalent membership by grade-level organization for the
17 prior year must be used to compute the growth over the highest
18 of the 3 years preceding the prior year. The total amount
19 appropriated by the Legislature pursuant to this subsection
20 shall be allocated among the growth capital outlay full-time
21 equivalent membership. The allocation shall be prorated to the
22 districts based upon each district's percentage of growth
23 capital outlay full-time membership. The most recent 4-year
24 capital outlay full-time equivalent membership data shall be
25 used in each subsequent year's calculation for the allocation
26 of funds pursuant to this subsection. If a change, correction,
27 or recomputation of data during any year results in a
28 reduction or increase of the calculated amount previously
29 allocated to a district, the allocation to that district shall
30 be adjusted correspondingly. If such recomputation results in
31 an increase or decrease of the calculated amount, such

1 additional or reduced amounts shall be added to or reduced
2 from the district's future appropriations. However, no change,
3 correction, or recomputation of data shall be made subsequent
4 to 2 years following the initial annual allocation.:
5 (a) For each eligible district, the Department of
6 Education shall calculate the value of 50 percent of the
7 revenue derived from the 2-mill nonvoted discretionary capital
8 outlay millage for the past 4 fiscal years divided by the
9 increase in capital outlay FTE students for the same period.
10 (b) The Department of Education shall determine, for
11 each eligible district, the amount that must be added to the
12 value calculated pursuant to paragraph (a) to produce the
13 weighted average value per student station calculated pursuant
14 to paragraph (2)(b).
15 (c) The value calculated for each eligible district
16 pursuant to paragraph (b) shall be multiplied by the average
17 increase in capital outlay FTE students for the past 4 fiscal
18 years to determine the maximum amount of a grant that may be
19 awarded to a district pursuant to this section.
20 (d) In the event the funds provided in the General
21 Appropriations Act are insufficient to fully fund the maximum
22 grants calculated pursuant to paragraph (c), the Department of
23 Education shall allocate the funds based on each district's
24 prorated share of the total maximum award amount calculated
25 for all eligible districts.
26 Section 3. This act shall take effect upon becoming a
27 law.
