Postsec. | To reduce the anonymity of students in large schools, encourages local boards to adopt policies to encourage any school that does not meet the definition of a small school to subdivide into schools-within-a-school. Beginnning July 1, 2003, all plans for new educational facilities to be constructed within a district and reflected in the 5-year school district facilities work plan must be plans for small schools in order to promote increased learning and more effective use of school facilities. Small schools are defined as 500 or under for elementaries; at or under 700 for K-8: 700 or under for middle schools; and 900 or less for high schools. Section 1011.76 creates the Small School District Stabilization Program to assist school districts in rural communities that document economic conditions or other significant community influences that negatively impact the school district. The purpose of the program is to provide technical assistance and financial support to maintain the stability of the educational program in the school district. A rural community means a county with a population of 75,000 or less; or a county with a population of 100,000 or less that is contiguous to a county with a population of 75,000 or less.In order to participate in this program, a school district must be located in a rural area of critical economic concern designated by the Executive Office of the Governor and the district school board must submit a resolution to the Office of Tourism, Trade, and Economic Development requesting participation in the program. http://www.leg.state.fl.us/data/session/2002E/Senate/bills/billtext/pdf/s0020Eer.pdf
