729 1011.62 Funds for operation of schools.—If the annual
730 allocation from the Florida Education Finance Program to each
731 district for operation of schools is not determined in the
732 annual appropriations act or the substantive bill implementing
733 the annual appropriations act, it shall be determined as
734 follows:
735 (1) COMPUTATION OF THE BASIC AMOUNT TO BE INCLUDED FOR
736 OPERATION.—The following procedure shall be followed in
737 determining the annual allocation to each district for
738 operation:
739 (o) Calculation of additional full-time equivalent
740 membership based on successful completion of a career-themed
741 course pursuant to ss. 1003.491, 1003.492, and 1003.493, or
742 courses with embedded CAPE industry certifications or CAPE
743 Digital Tool certificates, and issuance of industry
744 certification identified on the CAPE Industry Certification
745 Funding List pursuant to rules adopted by the State Board of
746 Education or CAPE Digital Tool certificates pursuant to s.
747 1003.4203.—
748 1.a. A value of 0.025 full-time equivalent student
749 membership shall be calculated for CAPE Digital Tool
750 certificates earned by students in elementary and middle school
751 grades.
752 b. A value of 0.1 or 0.2 full-time equivalent student
753 membership shall be calculated for each student who completes a
754 course as defined in s. 1003.493(1)(b) or courses with embedded
755 CAPE industry certifications and who is issued an industry
756 certification identified annually on the CAPE Industry
757 Certification Funding List approved under rules adopted by the
758 State Board of Education. For a CAPE industry certification that
759 has a statewide articulation agreement for 4 to 14 college
760 credits and for a CAPE industry certification that has a
761 statewide articulation agreement for 1 to 3 college credits and
762 that is deemed by the department to be of sufficient rigor and
763 to be linked to a high-skill occupation, a value of 0.2 full
764 time equivalent membership shall be calculated. For all other
765 CAPE industry certifications with a statewide articulation
766 agreement for 1 to 3 college credits, a value of 0.1 full-time
767 equivalent membership shall be calculated A value of 0.2 full
768 time equivalent membership shall be calculated for each student
769 who is issued a CAPE industry certification that has a statewide
770 articulation agreement for college credit approved by the State
771 Board of Education. For CAPE industry certifications that do not
772 articulate for college credit, the Department of Education shall
773 calculate assign a full-time equivalent value of 0.1 for each
774 certification. Middle grades students who earn additional FTE
775 membership for a CAPE Digital Tool certificate pursuant to sub
776 subparagraph a. may not use the previously funded examination to
777 satisfy the requirements for earning an industry certification
778 under this sub-subparagraph. Additional FTE membership for an
779 elementary or middle grades student may not exceed 0.1 for
780 certificates or certifications earned within the same fiscal
781 year. The State Board of Education shall include the assigned
782 values on the CAPE Industry Certification Funding List under
783 rules adopted by the state board. Such value shall be added to
784 the total full-time equivalent student membership for grades 6
785 through 12 in the subsequent year. CAPE industry certifications
786 earned through dual enrollment must be reported and funded
787 pursuant to s. 1011.80. However, if a student earns a
788 certification through a dual enrollment course and the
789 certification is not a fundable certification on the
790 postsecondary certification funding list, or the dual enrollment
791 certification is earned as a result of an agreement between a
792 school district and a nonpublic postsecondary institution, the
793 bonus value shall be funded in the same manner as other nondual
794 enrollment course industry certifications. In such cases, the
795 school district may provide for an agreement between the high
796 school and the technical center, or the school district and the
797 postsecondary institution may enter into an agreement for
798 equitable distribution of the bonus funds.
799 c. A value of 0.3 full-time equivalent student membership
800 shall be calculated for student completion of the courses and
801 the embedded certifications identified on the CAPE Industry
802 Certification Funding List and approved by the commissioner
803 pursuant to ss. 1003.4203(5)(a) and 1008.44.
804 d. A value of 0.5 full-time equivalent student membership
805 shall be calculated for CAPE Acceleration Industry
806 Certifications that articulate for 15 to 29 college credit
807 hours, and 1.0 full-time equivalent student membership shall be
808 calculated for CAPE Acceleration Industry Certifications that
809 articulate for 30 or more college credit hours pursuant to CAPE
810 Acceleration Industry Certifications approved by the
811 commissioner pursuant to ss. 1003.4203(5)(b) and 1008.44.
812 e. In addition to the full-time equivalent student
813 membership calculated under paragraphs (a)-(d), a supplemental
814 value of 0.2 full-time equivalent student membership shall be
815 calculated for industry certifications identified on the CAPE
816 Industry Certification Funding List as leading to employment in
817 occupations in critical industry sectors.
818 2. Each district must allocate at least 80 percent of the
819 funds provided for CAPE industry certification, in accordance
820 with this paragraph, to the program that generated the funds.
821 The remaining 20 percent may be used for other CAPE program
822 expenses, such as administrative costs and new industry
823 certification programs; however, administrative costs may not
824 exceed 5 percent of the total funds provided for CAPE industry
825 certification. Funds provided for CAPE industry certification
826 may not be used for any other purpose and, specifically, This
827 allocation may not be used to supplant funds provided for basic
828 operation of the program, such as teacher salaries and other
829 costs that are funded for other courses with non-CAPE funds.
830 3. For CAPE industry certifications earned in the 2013-2014
831 school year and in subsequent years, the school district shall
832 distribute to each classroom teacher who provided direct
833 instruction toward the attainment of a CAPE industry
834 certification that qualified for additional full-time equivalent
835 membership under subparagraph 1.:
836 a. A bonus of $25 for each student taught by a teacher who
837 provided instruction in a course that led to the attainment of a
838 CAPE industry certification on the CAPE Industry Certification
839 Funding List with a weight of 0.1.
840 b. A bonus of $50 for each student taught by a teacher who
841 provided instruction in a course that led to the attainment of a
842 CAPE industry certification on the CAPE Industry Certification
843 Funding List with a weight of 0.2.
844 c. A bonus of $75 for each student taught by a teacher who
845 provided instruction in a course that led to the attainment of a
846 CAPE industry certification on the CAPE Industry Certification
847 Funding List with a weight of 0.3.
848 d. A bonus of $100 for each student taught by a teacher who
849 provided instruction in a course that led to the attainment of a
850 CAPE industry certification on the CAPE Industry Certification
851 Funding List with a weight of 0.5 or 1.0.
852
853 Bonuses awarded pursuant to this paragraph must shall be
854 provided to teachers who are employed by the district in the
855 year in which the additional FTE membership calculation is
856 included in the calculation. Bonuses shall be calculated based
857 upon the associated weight of a CAPE industry certification on
858 the CAPE Industry Certification Funding List for the year in
859 which the certification is earned by the student. Any bonus
860 awarded to a teacher pursuant to this paragraph is in addition
861 to any regular wage or other bonus the teacher received or is
862 scheduled to receive. A bonus may not be awarded to a teacher
863 who fails to maintain the security of any CAPE industry
864 certification examination or who otherwise violates the security
865 or administration protocol of any assessment instrument that may
866 result in a bonus being awarded to the teacher under this
867 paragraph.
