FTE of students -✔✔Full Time Equivalent. A student can be counted as 1.0 FTE for 900 hours of
instruction during the school year (180 days X 5 hr/days). If a student attend less than the full day, their
FTC= # min/wk / 1500. When referring to FTE, the state is referring to "head count".
(PCF) Program Cost Factors -✔✔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 in grade 4-8
Weighted FTE -✔✔This is the calculated by multiplying the student's unweighted FTC for a particular
program by the appropriate Program Cost Factor.
The Base Student Allocation (BSA) -✔✔The value of every weighted FTE for the current school year. The
Florida Legislature as part of the General Appropriations Act determines the value of the BSA annually.
For 2003/2004, the BSA is set at $3,630.03 per WFTE.
District Cost Differential (DCD) -✔✔This adjustment in the FEFP recognizes differences in the cost of
living. 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 a percentage (i.e. 3%) less than other
districts. The DCD addresses the concept pf student equity.
Required Local Effort (RLE) -✔✔This represent the amount of expected revenue from the required
property taxes for school operations. This amount is subtracted from each school district's Gross State
and Local FEFP to determine the amount of state funds necessary to provide an equitable allocation to
school district. The RLE cannot exceed 90% of the Gross State and Local FEFP, thereby insuring that at
least 10% of a district's revenue comes from sales tax.
Membership -✔✔Student must be enrolled 1 day during Survey (FTE) week. The student can only be
enrolled in one public school district during a particular survey period. If the student is enrolled in more
than one district during survey week, the student is counted in the district that has the students closest
to the Friday of survey week.
