  1. The FLORIDA EDUCATIONFINANCE PROGRAM (FEFP) and Charter Schools Florida’s Charter School Conference November 18, 2009

  2. Tools Charter School Revenue Estimating Worksheet (http://www.fldoe.org/fefp/chartinst.asp) FEFP Calculations (http://www.fldoe.org/fefp/offrfefp.asp) Florida Statutes

  3. Cash Flow to Charter Schools • Three funding variables: • Weighted full-time equivalent (FTE) students • Certified property tax rolls • Collection of state taxes and lottery proceeds

  4. Sources of FEFP Data

  5. Accurate projection of WFTE is the most important variable • Example: Charter school projects 100 WFTE and October survey is 75 WFTE • Annual revenue will be adjusted to 75 percent of the planned budget • Cash flow will be approximately 50 percent of cash flow for the first months of the year if the WFTE doesn’t increase in the February survey

  6. FTE Survey Dates/FEFP Calculations

  7. FEFP Calculations & FTE Surveys
