Senate approves plan for education financing in Florida
The Florida Senate backed a $779 million public school finance formula with conflicting amendments aimed at shifting funding from per classroom to per pupil and then partially delaying or accelerating its implementation. A joint conference committee will reconcile House and Senate versions as they seek to fund education via a per-FTE basis with broad discretion for local administrators.
