 1216         (1) Pursuant to ss. 1003.4203 and 1003.492, the Department

 1225  for college credit. Such certificates shall be annually
 1226  identified on the CAPE Industry Certification Funding List and
 1227  updated solely by the Chancellor of Career and Adult Education.
 1228  The certificates shall be made available to students in
 1229  elementary school and middle school grades and, if earned by a
 1230  student, shall be eligible for additional full-time equivalent
 1231  membership pursuant to s. 1011.62(1)(o)1.
 1232         Section 31. Subsection (11) of section 1009.21, Florida

 1234         1009.21 Determination of resident status for tuition

 1240  universities.
 1241         (11) Once a student has been classified as a resident for
 1242  tuition purposes, an institution of higher education to which
 1243  the student transfers is not required to reevaluate the
 1244  classification unless inconsistent information suggests that an
 1245  erroneous classification was made or the student’s situation has
 1246  changed. However, the student must have attended the institution
 1247  making the initial classification within the prior 12 months,
 1248  and the residency classification must be noted on the student’s
 1249  transcript. The Higher Education Coordinating Council shall
 1250  consider issues related to residency determinations and make
 1251  recommendations relating to efficiency and effectiveness of
 1252  current law.
 1253         Section 32. Subsections (3) through (11) of section

 1260         (3)Each school district and Florida College System
 1261  institution receiving state appropriations for workforce
 1262  education programs must maintain adequate and accurate records,
 1263  including a system to record school district workforce education
 1264  funding and expenditures, to maintain the separation of
 1265  postsecondary workforce education expenditures and secondary
 1266  workforce education expenditures. These records must be
 1267  submitted to the Department of Education in accordance with
 1268  rules of the State Board of Education.
 1269         (5) State funding and student fees for workforce education
 1270  instruction shall be established as follows:
 1271         (b) For all other workforce education programs, state
 1272  funding shall be calculated based on a weighted enrollment and
 1273  program cost minus fee revenues generated to offset program
 1274  operational costs, including any supplemental cost factors
 1275  recommended by the District Workforce Education Funding Steering
 1276  Committee equal 75 percent of the average cost of instruction
 1277  with the remaining 25 percent made up from student fees. Fees
 1278  for courses within a program shall not vary according to the
 1279  cost of the individual program, but instead shall be as provided
 1280  in s. 1009.22 based on a uniform fee calculated and set at the
 1281  state level, as adopted by the State Board of Education, unless
 1282  otherwise specified in the General Appropriations Act.
 1283         Section 33. Section 1011.802, Florida Statutes, is created
 1284  to read:
 1285         1011.802FLAG program.—
 1286         (1)Subject to appropriations provided in the General
 1287  Appropriations Act, the FLAG (Florida Apprenticeship Grant)
 1288  program is created to provide grants to high schools, career
 1289  centers, charter technical career centers, Florida College
 1290  System institutions, and other entities authorized to sponsor an
 1291  apprenticeship or preapprenticeship program, as defined in s.
 1292  446.021, on a competitive basis to establish new apprenticeship
 1293  or preapprenticeship programs and expand existing apprenticeship
 1294  or preapprenticeship programs. The Department of Education shall
 1295  administer the grant program.
 1296         (2)Applications must contain projected enrollment and
 1297  projected costs for the new or expanded apprenticeship program.
 1298         (3)The department shall give priority to apprenticeship
 1299  programs with demonstrated regional demand. Grant funds may be
 1300  used for instructional equipment, supplies, personnel, student
 1301  services, and other expenses associated with the creation or
 1302  expansion of an apprenticeship program. Grant funds may not be
 1303  used for recurring instructional costs or for indirect costs.
 1304  Grant recipients must submit quarterly reports in a format
 1305  prescribed by the department.
 1306         (4)The State Board of Education may adopt rules to
 1307  administer this section.
 1308         Section 34. Subsections (1) through (4) of section 1012.57,
 1309  Florida Statutes, are amended, and subsection (6) is added to
 1310  that section, to read:
 1311         1012.57 Certification of adjunct educators.—
 1312         (1) Notwithstanding the provisions of ss. 1012.32, 1012.55,
 1313  and 1012.56, or any other provision of law or rule to the
 1314  contrary, district school boards shall adopt rules to allow for
 1315  the issuance of an adjunct teaching certificate to any applicant
 1316  who fulfills the requirements of s. 1012.56(2)(a)-(f) and (10)
 1317  and who has expertise in the subject area to be taught. An
 1318  applicant shall be considered to have expertise in the subject
 1319  area to be taught if the applicant demonstrates sufficient
 1320  subject area mastery through passage of a subject area test. The
 1321  adjunct teaching certificate shall be used for part-time
 1322  teaching positions.
 1323         (2) The Legislature intends that this section allow school
 1324  districts to tap the wealth of talent and expertise represented
 1325  in Florida’s citizens who may wish to teach part-time in a
 1326  Florida public school by permitting school districts to issue
 1327  adjunct certificates to qualified applicants.
 1328         (3) Adjunct certificateholders should be used primarily as
 1329  a strategy to enhance the diversity of course offerings offered
 1330  to all students. School districts may use the expertise of
 1331  individuals in the state who wish to provide online instruction
 1332  to students by issuing adjunct certificates to qualified
 1333  applicants.
 1334         (4) Each adjunct teaching certificate is valid through the
 1335  term of the annual contract between the educator and the school
 1336  district. An additional annual certification and an additional
 1337  annual contract may be awarded by the district at the district’s
 1338  discretion but only if the applicant is rated effective or
 1339  highly effective under s. 1012.34 during each year of teaching
 1340  under adjunct teaching certification. A school district may
 1341  issue an adjunct teaching certificate for a part-time or full
 1342  time teaching position; however, an adjunct teaching certificate
 1343  issued for a full-time teaching position is valid for no more
 1344  than 3 years and is nonrenewable.
 1345         (6)Each school district shall:
 1346         (a)Post requirements on its website for the issuance of an
 1347  adjunct teaching certificate, which must specify the subject
 1348  area test through which an applicant demonstrates subject area
 1349  mastery.
 1350         (b)Annually report to the department the number of adjunct
 1351  teaching certificates issued for part-time teaching positions
 1352  and full-time teaching positions pursuant to this section.
 1353         Section 35. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
 1354  act and except for this section, which shall take effect upon
 1355  this act becoming a law, this act shall take effect July 1,
 1356  2019.
