Florida CTE Updates: February 2016

Legislative Update - February 22, 2016

Good morning!

Both the House and the Senate have passed their versions of the budget. The next step is for the House and the Senate leadership to agree on how much money to put in each category ( ex. Education, Health, etc.) Next will be the setting of the conference schedule. Representatives from the House and the Senate will be selected to sit on a conference committee and attempt to come to agreement on their assigned category of the budget. This happens over several short meetings where each side brings forward offers, which are accepted or rejected. Any items which are not resolved are kicked up to the Appropriations chairs and then the leadership of the House and Senate. There is a 72 hours cooling off period before the agreed upon budget is then sent back to the House and Senate for a floor vote. This must be completed prior to the end of the day March 11^th. Passing a budget is the ONLY action required of the Legislature.

Good morning!

The Senate Education Appropriation Subcommittee Chairman’s Recommendation for Education funding for FY16-17 is as follows - http://flsenate.gov/PublishedContent/Committees/2014-2016/AED/MeetingRecords/MeetingPacket_3377.pdf

Gaetz put in his budget $10.2 million for the expansion of CAPE academies through a competitive grant process. One named area was manufacturing. This the first new money secondary has seem possibly directed their way.

Additionally included in his proposed budget:

$20 million for the Technical Center Rapid response competitive grant

$1.5 million increase in performance for industry certifications.

The proposed implementing bill and proviso language will come out on Thursday. The proviso language will have Gaetz requirements for grant submission.

Another interesting aspect of Senator Gaetz proposed budget is there are no line items for individual funded groups such as boy clubs, etc. He is recommending a competitive grant process.

We have not seen anything from the House yet.
