The bill establishes the Council on the Social Status of Black Men and Boys at Florida Memorial University, transferring oversight from the Department of Legal Affairs. It requires the university to provide necessary support for the council and changes the approval process for meeting times from the Attorney General to the university's president. The bill also revises quorum requirements to allow participation via communications media technology and stipulates that members can be reimbursed for expenses by Florida Memorial University instead of the Department of Legal Affairs.
Additionally, the bill amends various Florida Statutes related to education, including the distribution of surtax revenues to charter schools, definitions of school-related terms, and law enforcement authority on school grounds. It introduces new eligibility criteria for charter school applications and scholarship awards, and establishes a workforce credential program for students with autism spectrum disorder. The bill aims to enhance educational opportunities, ensure equitable resource distribution among public educational institutions, and improve accountability in the management of charter schools and educational programs.
