MEMORANDUM
TO:
District School Superintendents
FROM:
Raymond Monteleone
SUBJECT:
Dollars to the Classroom
Section 1011.64, F.S., and proviso language within the FEFP appropriation have established a minimum
classroom expenditure requirement for districts that fail to meet minimum academic performance
standards.
The expenditure requirement for 2003-04 is based on the academic performance data
currently available to the Department.
Incomplete and appealed grades are not included in the
calculation of the weighted district average grades. Attached to this memorandum is the Department’s
initial calculation of each district's status with regard to these standards. This information is necessary to
prepare the budget advertisement required by Section 1011.03, F.S.
The calculation uses school grade data available to the Department as of June 30, 2003. However, as
stated above, some districts may have unresolved appeals of grades or incomplete grades for specific
schools.
If the satisfactory resolution of appeals and incompletes would alter the district’s standing
above or below the minimum performance standards specified in proviso language, the following
statement may be included with the advertisement:
The information in this advertisement may change, subject to satisfactory
resolution of incomplete grades or ongoing appeals of school grades.
