Funding for VPK and Related Programs

Section 1002.71, Florida Statutes (F.S.), Funding; financial and attendance reporting.

(3)(a) The base student allocation per full-time equivalent student in the Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program shall be provided in the General Appropriations Act and shall be equal for each student, regardless of whether the student is enrolled in a school-year prekindergarten program delivered by a private prekindergarten provider, a summer prekindergarten program delivered by a public school or private prekindergarten provider, or a school-year prekindergarten program delivered by a public school. (b) Each county's allocation per full-time equivalent student in the Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program shall be calculated annually by multiplying the base student allocation provided in the General Appropriations Act by the county's district cost differential provided in s. 1011.62(2). Each private prekindergarten provider and public school shall be paid in accordance with the county's allocation per full-time equivalent student.

(d) For programs offered by school districts pursuant to s. 1002.61, each district's funding shall be based on a full-time equivalent student enrollment that is evenly divisible by 10. If the result of dividing a district's full-time equivalent student enrollment by 10 is not a whole number, the district's enrollment calculation shall be adjusted by adding the minimum number of full-time equivalent students to produce a full-time equivalent student enrollment calculation that is evenly divisible by 10.
