   13  Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida:
   14  
   15         Section 1. Subsection (10) of section 1011.80, Florida
   16  Statutes, is amended to read:
   17         1011.80 Funds for operation of workforce education
   18  programs.—
   19         (10) A high school student dually enrolled under s.
   20  1007.271 in a workforce education program operated by a Florida
   21  College System institution or school district career center
   22  generates the amount calculated for workforce education funding,
   23  including any payment of performance funding, and the
   24  proportional share of full-time equivalent enrollment generated
   25  through the Florida Education Finance Program for the student’s
   26  enrollment in a high school. If a high school student is dually
   27  enrolled in a Florida College System institution program,
   28  including a program conducted at a high school, the Florida
   29  College System institution earns the funds generated for
   30  workforce education funding, and the school district earns the
   31  proportional share of full-time equivalent funding from the
   32  Florida Education Finance Program. If a student is dually
   33  enrolled in a career center operated by the same district as the
   34  district in which the student attends high school, that district
   35  earns the funds generated for workforce education funding and
   36  also earns the proportional share of full-time equivalent
   37  funding from the Florida Education Finance Program. If a student
   38  is dually enrolled in a workforce education program provided by
   39  a career center operated by a different school district, the
   40  funds must be divided between the two school districts
   41  proportionally from the two funding sources. A student may not
   42  be reported for funding in a dual enrollment workforce education
   43  program unless the student has completed the basic skills
   44  assessment pursuant to s. 1004.91. A student who is coenrolled
   45  in a K-12 education program and an adult education program may
   46  not be reported for purposes of funding in an adult education
   47  program. A student who is, except that for the 2011-2012 fiscal
   48  year only, students who are coenrolled in core program areas
   49  curricula courses for credit recovery or dropout prevention
   50  purposes may be reported for funding for up to two courses per
   51  student. Students who are coenrolled Such students are exempt
   52  from the payment of the block tuition for adult general
   53  education programs provided in s. 1009.22(3)(c).
   54         Section 2. This act shall take effect July 1, 2012.
