CSR Amendment Approved by Voters in 2002
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
establishment, maintenance
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;
(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.
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.
The class size requirements of this subsection do not apply to extracurricular classes.
Legislature set implementation schedule
• In 2003, the Florida Legislature enacted Senate Bill 30‐A
that implemented the amendment by requiring the
number of students in each classroom be reduced by at
least two students per year beginning in the 2003‐04 school
year, until

Quotes regarding CSR this year

"We have given up an entire grading period — a quarter of the school year — to be in compliance,"
said Robert Moll, head of finance for Volusia County schools. "The disruption of classes, the
schedule changes,

Orlando Sentinel ‐ October 11, 2010

Some are using "problematic" methods to comply, Education Commissioner Eric Smith said. He's
troubled by reports of elementary schools putting children from two grade levels, such as first and
second grade,
grade in one classroom because that means the teacher has to deal with two sets of
standards. Some high school students are having trouble getting advanced classes and electives
such as music and art that face elimination due to teachers being reassigned to core academic
subjects covered by the class‐size requirements. "At the end of the day we're going to find a lot of
schools ‐ I hope districts, but schools ‐ that are in compliance," Smith said. "Now the real question
is going to be at what academic cost did they get into compliance.

Amendment 8 ‐ Class Size

• Intent was to provide similar flexibility as existed last year
(school average) and add hard cap for individual classes.
• Failed to garner 60% Voter approval required to pass

of CSR categorical and 50% of Base Student Allocation (BSA) per FTE
(approx. $3,000 per FTE).
•
Proceeds from CSR penalties may be redistributed to school districts that
comply with CSR (Bonus up to 5% of BSA).
•
School districts failing to comply may avoid 75% or more of penalty by
submitting a plan to comply for 2011‐12 school year.
•
Net Penalty after submitting compliance plan for FY2012 is $4 million.
•
Under current law, penalty increases in FY12 to CSR categorical and 100%
of BSA (approx. $6,000 per FTE).
Palm Beach joined CSR Lawsuit challenging penalties,
but must plan to comply regardless:
•
What is believed to be an unconstitutional financial penalty and
redistribution of state and local class size reduction funds as a reward or
"bonus" for school districts that meet class size requirements.
•
Failure to meet State Funding Responsibility ‐ The Florida Legislature
appropriated $82 million for CSR for FY11 although the State Board of
Education recommended $354 million in February, 2010.
•
Lawsuit is supported by Florida Association of District School
Superintendents (FADSS), Florida School Boards Association (FSBA), and
Greater Florida Consortium of School Boards.
– Miami‐Dade, Broward, and several other counties have joined suit.
•
"The day somebody gets a notice of a penalty we will litigate the next
day," said Wayne Blanton, the association's executive director.

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 off CSR Compliance Plan will be a component off the
FY2012 budget challenge. Strategies to reduce cost such as eliminating
support positions or closing schools would be addressed through the
School Board’s
Board s budget development process
process.
