FELE Study Guide 1 (Quiz 2 EDA 6240) /Questions
And Answers
Quiz :Full time equivalent - √Answer :One student in membership in a program
or a group of programs for 1500 minutes (25 hours a week) for a 180-day
school year. The FTE calculation is based on two 90-day terms. Each student in
membership and in attendance will earn one-half (.50) FTE during each of two
survey periods - Survey 2 (October) and Survey 3 (February).
Quiz :Program cost factor - √Answer :These are weights assigned to students
in different
instructional programs (i.e. ESE, ESOL, Vocational) that address the additional
costs associated with teaching these students. Program Cost Factors are
constant across school districts. Annually set by legislature - reflect relative
cost of providing educational programs, compares the cost per student for
each program in relation to the cost of providing services to regular students.
Quiz :Weighted FTE - √Answer :This is calculated by multiplying the student‟s
unweighted FTE for a particular program by the appropriate Program Cost
Factor.
Quiz :Base student allocation - √Answer :The base student allocation from
state and local funds is determined annually by the Florida Legislature and is a
component in the calculation of Base Funding. For the 2017-18 fiscal year, the
base student allocation is $4,203.95.
Quiz :District cost differential - √Answer :Section 1011.62(2), F.S., requires the
commissioner to annually compute District Cost Differentials (DCDs) by adding
each district's Florida Price Level Index for the most recent three years and
dividing the sum by three. The result is multiplied by 0.800 and divided by 100
and 0.200 is added to the product to obtain the DCD. This serves to limit the
factor's adjustment to 80 percent of the index (i.e., the approximate
percentage of district salary costs to total operating costs). The three-year
averaging reduces the immediate impact on districts of fluctuations in the
index.
This adjustment in the FEFP recognizes differences in the cost of living. The
DCD is determined annually by the Legislature and is applied to each
school district‟s student value. If the DCD is above 1.00 (i.e. 1.05), the district
receives that percent more (i.e. 5%) student. If the DCD is less than 1.00
