Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) expresses significant concern regarding the proposed revisions to Florida
Statute 1011.62 in HB 5101, which pertain to program funding through add-on Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) for
Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), Cambridge (AICE), Dual Enrollment (DE), and Career
and Professional Education (CAPE). The proposed changes reduce add-on FTE funding by 50% and would have a
detrimental impact on our schools. A 50% reduction in add-on FTE would result in an estimated financial loss of
$16,835,797 for OCPS, based on the most recent funding distribution of $33,671,594 for add-on FTE, of which
100% has been fully allocated for utilization.
