  5. Initial objectives were to update the 2003 report prepared for the Fl Legislature on Funding Transportation to Florida’s Schools of Choice and • To consider a recommendation that Charter School transportation calculations be outside the funding formula used for school districts

  6. The workgroup quickly decided that the data needed to update the 2003 Funding Report was going to be a massive project involving considerable new data collection activities • As our discussion of funding in general progressed, we all seemed to think there were two goals on which we could initially focus …

  7. Goal 1 • To develop a best practice guide for school districts to consider in establishing and documenting their own data collection process to help ensure that the data collected will be… a) timely b) accurate and c) meet audit standards.

  8. Goal 2 • To reduce the complexity of the current data collection process and still meet the requirements of the formula

  9. Goal 1: Develop Best Practice Phase 1 • Pre-Survey Preparation Phase 2 • Survey Week activities Phase 3 • Post Survey Review and Reporting

  10. Draft Report • You all have a copy, please take it, share with your staff involved in the process, make your suggestions to Charlie or Greg • If you have any forms that your district uses that you can share, please email or scan them and we will add them in Appendix • Training: we think this document will be a great training tool for new directors and operations staff

  11. Goal 2: Reduce Complexity • The committee’s next focus will be on working with DOE to consider the various categories being reported and determine just what are the actual needs for the data detail in hopes of eliminating or combining categories

  12. Next Steps/Further Discussion: • 2003 Report…can we obtain the data necessary to update? • Charter School Impact on our formula…can we determine what it is and do we want to recommend a change given today’s environment • Funding Adequacy and FAPT’s Response
