School District of Clay County
Green Cove Springs, Florida
Teacher Inservice Center - Fleming Island High School 2233 Village Square Parkway TIME - 5:15 PM
July 30, 2007 Special Meeting
Agenda Item #5


Item Title
Adopt the 2007-08 requried local mill levy

Issue/Rationale
The district's Required Local Effort (RLE) is subtracted from the gross calculation of Florida Education Program (FEFP) dollars.  Millage rates are also adjusted because required local effort may not exceed 90 percent of a district's total FEFP entitlement.  In order to receive state funding, school districts must levy the local property tax millage set by the Legislature.

Recommended Action
Motion to adopt the required local effort mill levy of 4.731 which exceeds the rolled-back rate by 2.76 percent.

Financial Impact
Revenue to the District in the amount of $47,926,211 in Fund 100.
