How Florida funds schools

Florida funds schools through the Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP): weighted full-time-equivalent students times the Base Student Allocation ($5,372.60 per unweighted FTE in 2025–26), adjusted by a district cost differential and program factors, plus categoricals such as ESE, transportation and safe-schools funding. A growing share of state funds now flows to universal Family Empowerment Scholarship vouchers.
