Florida S0512 sets a minimum funding level for the Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program, adjusted annually by inflation.

Florida S0512 amends the funding calculation for the Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program, ensuring the base student allocation for both school-year and summer programs is not less than the previous year's amount, adjusted by the Consumer Price Index, up to 5% annually. The Division of Early Learning must publish the adjusted allocation by May 1 each year. The bill also allows the Legislature to provide additional funding beyond the calculated minimum.
