In 1973 the Florida Legislature enacted the Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP) and established the state policy on equalized funding to guarantee to each student in the Florida public education system the availability of programs and services appropriate to his or her educational needs that are substantially equal to those available to any similar student notwithstanding geographic differences and varying local economic factors. The FEFP is a series of formulas and components used to allocate funds appropriated by the legislature and is the primary mechanism for funding the operating costs of Florida school districts. These funds make up the majority of K-12 public school funding. A key feature of the FEFP is that it bases financial support for education upon the individual student participating in a particular educational program rather than upon the number of teachers or classrooms. To provide equalization of educational opportunity, the FEFP formula recognizes: (1) varying local property tax bases; (2) varying education program costs; (3) varying costs of living; and (4) varying costs for equivalent educational programs due to sparsity and dispersion of the student population. Most of the components of the calculation are authorized in Section 1011.62, Florida Statutes and the annual General Appropriations Act.

The 5-Year District Facilities Work Program is the authoritative source for educational facilities information, including planning and funding.
