On November 4, 1986, a constitutional amendment was passed in a statewide election creating
Article X, Section 15, of The Constitution of the State of Florida. Of the 3,208,295 voters who
voted on the amendment, 2,039,437, or 63.57 percent, voted for the amendment while 1,168,858,
or 36.43 percent, voted against it. Article X, Section 15, reads as follows:
(a) Lotteries may be operated by the state.
(b) If any subsection or subsections of the amendment to the Florida Constitution are held
unconstitutional for containing more than one subject, this amendment shall be limited
to subsection (a) above.
(1) Schedule--On the effective date of this amendment, the lotteries shall be known as
the Florida Education Lotteries. Net proceeds derived from the lotteries shall be
deposited to a state trust fund to be designated the State Education Lotteries Trust
Fund, to be appropriated by the Legislature. The schedule may be amended by
general law.
The 1987 Legislature enacted The Florida Public Education Lottery Act (Chapter 87-65, Laws of
Florida) which implemented the Constitutional Amendment. Section 24.102(2), F.S., represents
the expression of intent by the Florida Legislature for the lottery.
(1) The purpose of this act is to implement s. 15, Art. X of the State Constitution in a
manner that enables the people of the state to benefit from significant additional
monies for education and also enables the people of the state to play the best lottery
games available.
(a) That the net proceeds of lottery games conducted pursuant to this act be used to
support improvements in public education and that such proceeds not be used as a
substitute for existing resources for public education.
(b) That the lottery games be operated by a department of state government that
enterprise. The Legislature recognizes that the operation of a lottery is a unique
activity for state government and that structures and procedures appropriate to the
performance of other governmental functions are not necessarily appropriate to the
operation of a state lottery.
department.
(d) That the department be accountable to the Legislature and the people of the state
disclosure, open meetings, and public records laws.
History.--s. 2, ch. 87-65; s. 5, ch. 91-45.
The Florida Public Education Lottery Act also created Section 24.121, F.S., which governs the
allocation of revenues and expenditures of lottery funds. As amended by Chapter Law noted in
As nearly as practical, at least 50 percent of the gross revenue from the sale of on-line
lottery tickets and variable percentages, as determined by the department, of the gross
revenue from the sale of instant lottery tickets shall be returned to the public in the form of
prizes paid by the department or retailers as authorized by this act. The variable
percentages of gross revenue from the sale of instant tickets returned to the public in the
form of prizes shall be established by the department in a manner designed to maximize
the amount of funds deposited under subsection (2).
Each fiscal year, at least 39 percent of the gross revenue from the sale of on-line lottery
tickets, variable percentages of the gross revenue from the sale of instant lottery tickets as
determined by the department consistent with subsection (1), and other earned revenue,
excluding application processing fees, shall be deposited in the Educational Enhancement
Trust Fund, which is hereby created in the State Treasury to be administered by the
Department of Education. The Department of the Lottery shall transfer moneys to the
Educational Enhancement Trust Fund at least once each quarter. Funds in the Educational
Enhancement Trust Fund shall be used to the benefit of public education in accordance
with the provisions of this act. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, lottery
revenues transferred to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund shall be reserved as
needed and used to meet the requirements of the documents authorizing the bonds issued
by the state pursuant to s. 1013.68, s. 1013.70, or s. 1013.737 or distributed to school
districts for the Classrooms First Program as provided in s. 1013.68. Such lottery revenues
are hereby pledged to the payment of debt service on bonds issued by the state pursuant to
s. 1013.68, s. 1013.70, or s. 1013.737. Debt service payable on bonds issued by the state
pursuant to s. 1013.68, s. 1013.70, or s. 1013.737 shall be payable from, and is secured by
a first lien on, the first lottery revenues transferred to the Educational Enhancement Trust
Fund in each fiscal year. Amounts distributable to school districts that request the issuance
of bonds pursuant to s. 1013.68(3) are hereby pledged to such bonds pursuant to s. 11(d),
Art. VII of the State Constitution.
The funds remaining in the Administrative Trust Fund after transfers to the Educational
Enhancement Trust Fund shall be used for the payment of administrative expenses of the
department. These expenses shall include all costs incurred in the operation and
administration of the lottery and all costs resulting from any contracts entered into for the
purchase or lease of goods or services required by the lottery, including, but not limited to:
The costs of supplies, materials, tickets, independent audit services, independent
studies, data transmission, advertising, promotion, incentives, public relations,
communications, security, bonding for retailers, printing, distribution of tickets,
and reimbursing other governmental entities for services provided to the lottery;
The costs of any other goods and services necessary for effectuating the purposes
of this act.
The unencumbered balance which remains in the Administrative Trust Fund at the end of
each fiscal year shall be transferred to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund.

paragraph. If a school does not have a school advisory council, the district advisory
council must appoint a parent advisory committee composed of parents of students
enrolled in that school, which committee is representative of the ethnic, racial, and
economic community served by the school, to advise the school's principal on the
programs or projects to be funded. A principal may not override the
recommendations of the school advisory council or the parent advisory committee.
These moneys may not be used for capital improvements, nor may they be used for

Enhancement Trust Fund.
Education's share of the lottery proceeds is deposited into the Educational Enhancement Trust
Fund. Each year the Legislature determines which programs will be funded from education’s
share of the lottery proceeds and the amount of such funding. The 1991 Legislature began a
policy of providing lump-sum funding to the school districts, community colleges, and Division
of Colleges and Universities. The school districts, community colleges, and Division of Colleges
and Universities were assigned responsibility for defining how they planned to use the funds for
educational enhancement.

final maturity of these bonds to 20 years.

2003-2004 PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS FUNDED FROM
THE EDUCATIONAL ENHANCEMENT TRUST FUND
Chapter 2003-397, Laws of Florida
PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM
ITEM 1:
?
CLASSROOMS FIRST AND 1997 SCHOOL CAPITAL OUTLAY BOND
PROGRAMS
Lottery Funds: $169,000,000
Over the 20-year period of the 1997 School Capital Outlay Bond Program, an estimated $2 billion
in revenue will be available for public school construction. The $169 million appropriation in
Item 1 is used to pay the annual debt service on the lottery bonds. Programs funded from the
proceeds are cited below.
The Classrooms First Program provides funds to school districts for new construction, renovation,
remodeling, major repair, or maintenance of education facilities. Funds are to be distributed as
follows: 25 percent based on capital outlay full-time membership, 65 percent based on growth in
capital outlay full-time membership, and 10 percent based on the “sum of the digits” formula in
Section 1013.64(1)(a), F.S. Districts may use the cash from their share of the appropriation for
new construction, renovation, remodeling, major repair, maintenance of education facilities, or to
pay debt service on bonds issued by the state on their behalf. Proceeds from such bond issues
must be used for new construction, renovation, remodeling, major repair, or maintenance of
education facilities. Once a district has pledged its share of this appropriation or future
appropriation for debt service on a bond issue, the distribution formula must from that time
forward provide the district with sufficient funds to pay debt service for the bonds.
Also funded from the proceeds in Item 1 are the School Infrastructure Thrift (SIT) Program
awards and Effort Index grants. The SIT program provides incentive grants to districts for
savings realized through functional, frugal school construction. The Effort Index Grant Program
provides grants to assist districts that have provided a specified level of local funding and still
have a need to build new student stations.
The Classrooms First Program was initiated to fund or partially fund the construction of new
schools and additions to existing schools. As of December 2003 lottery-based funds have been
encumbered by the school districts to build 112 new schools with approximately 100,000 new
student stations. Additionally, approximately 62,200 new student stations have been provided
through renovation or remodeling projects and the construction of additions to existing schools.

following formula:
(a)
?
Twenty-five percent of the appropriation shall be prorated to the districts based on
each district's percentage of base capital outlay full-time equivalent membership,
and 65 percent shall be based on each district's percentage of growth capital outlay
full-time equivalent membership as specified for the allocation of funds from the
Public Education Capital Outlay and Debt Service Trust Fund by s. 1013.64(3).

supplemental instruction during the 2003-2004 school year to reduce the need for summer

?
remedial programs. These funds are in addition to the annual recurring funds appropriated for
Supplemental Academic Instruction and are allocated to all school districts based on FTE student
enrollment. These funds can be used to pay teachers and tutors who provide supplemental
instruction to students during the summer or during the school year; however, because these are
one-time non-recurring funds, expenditures should also be non-recurring. Payment from these
funds for personnel costs should be for specified supplemental services and not included in an

enrollment.
ITEM 3C:
?
CLASS SIZE REDUCTION

59A, comprise the total appropriation of operating funds for class size reduction of $468,198,634.
The class size reduction allocation factor for grades pre-kindergarten to grade 3 shall be $180.65,
for grades 4 to 8 shall be $163.79, and for grades 9 to 12 shall be $160.74. The class size
reduction allocation shall be recalculated based on enrollment through the February 2004 FTE
survey. If the total class size reduction allocation is greater than the appropriation in Specific
Appropriations 3C and 59A, funds shall be prorated to the level of the appropriation based on
each district’s calculated amount.
Funds in Specific Appropriation 3C shall be distributed to school districts that have provided
sufficient information for the Commissioner of Education to set annual district class size
reduction goals. The Commissioner of Education may withhold disbursement of these funds until
a district is in compliance with reporting information required for class size reduction
implementation.
