Stipulated State Funding Responsibility
Florida Constitution‐ Article IX Education
SECTION 1. Public education.‐‐
(a) The education of children is a fundamental value of the people of the State of Florida. It is, therefore, a paramount duty of the state to make adequate provision for the education of all children residing within its borders. Adequate provision shall be made by law for a uniform, efficient, safe, secure, and high quality system of free public schools that allows students to obtain a high quality education and for the establishment maintenance and operation of
that allows students to obtain a high quality education and for the establishment, maintenance, and operation of institutions of higher learning and other public education programs that the needs of the people may require. To assure that children attending public schools obtain a high quality education, the legislature shall make adequate provision to ensure that, by the beginning of the 2010 school year, there are a sufficient number of classrooms so that: (1) The maximum number of students who are assigned to each teacher who is teaching in public school classrooms for prekindergarten through grade 3 does not exceed 18 students;
for prekindergarten through grade 3 does not exceed 18 students; (2) The maximum number of students who are assigned to each teacher who is teaching in public school classrooms for grades 4 through 8 does not exceed 22 students; and (3) The maximum number of students who are assigned to each teacher who is teaching in public school classrooms for grades 9 through 12 does not exceed 25 students. The class size requirements of this subsection do not apply to extracurricular classes. Payment of the costs associated with reducing class size to meet these requirements is the responsibility of the state and not of local schools districts.

CLASS SIZE REDUCTION CLASS
SIZE REDUCTION
OVERVIEW OF STRATEGIES: • Strategies to fully comply with class size reduction requirements are provided in Florida Statute (1003.03).
• Additional strategies from other school districts across Florida have also been listed.
• Ultimate CSR Compliance Plan will likely require a mix of district and school based strategies. For example, strategies selected by schools may have to be bargained with CTA. The district would address contract negotiations as a system.
• Financial impact of CSR Compliance Plan will be a component of the f
f
FY2012 budget challenge. Strategies to reduce cost such as eliminating support positions or closing schools would be addressed through the School Board’ss budget development process.
