Purpose
In the 2016 legislative session, section 1013.62, F.S., was amended to change the eligibility criteria for capital outlay from three years of school operation to two and clarified that evidence of a financial emergency condition would render an applicant ineligible. In addition to the changes above, the proposed rule also: Specifies thresholds for feeder patterns; establishes deadlines for providing evidence of SACS accreditation; and determines what constitutes failure to meet satisfactory student achievement for purposes of receiving capital outlay. The rule will also incorporate IEPC-CO1, the official application necessary to request capital outlay.
