Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The State of Florida has placed a mandatory 1.25% Lapse requirement encompassing all salary and benefit moneys budgeted for the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind, but due to the health and safety requirements it has placed the school "at risk" for meeting all mandates and requirements.  Due to this requirement during fiscal year 2000-2001, this is a deficit of $309,301 which is required to be made up by leaving positions vacant which are required to be filled under student to staff ratio mandates for health and safety needs for students.  Unlike other state agencies, the school does not have the personnel turnover which would justify a lapse being placed on salaries.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

The anticipated measurable outcome is to meet all documented student-to-staff ratio mandates.
