Education Funding Formula Offered for Florida Counties
Tallahassee Florida lawmakers approved a complex education budget formula to boost state aid to 63 counties and guarantee at least $40 per child for each mill of school tax. Senator Jack Leppert warned against a Robin Hood approach and urged targeting poorer counties with state supplements while wealthier counties are left largely as is. He noted property values rise unevenly and one mill yields from $11 per pupil in Gadsden to $94 per pupil in Glades, with all counties required to levy seven mills to participate in the minimum foundation program.
