This rule is being repealed because it is obsolete. The authority in this rule is no longer required in order to claim weighted funding for the provision of special education and related services for students with disabilities. This rule gave districts authority to utilize weighted cost factors based on certain categories of exceptionality. Because of the revised Exceptional Student Education/Florida Education Finance Program (ESE/FEFP) funding model instituted by the Florida Legislature in 1998 and the required use of the Matrix of Services form based on students’ individual educational plans (IEP), cost factors are tied directly to the severity of the students’ needs and the intensity of the support required rather than the disability category.
