[State] Florida [Score] 4 [Charter Law Description] 
Florida law provides that charter schools should be funded the same as other public schools and that charter schools are entitled to their proportionate share of categorical program funds included in the Florida Education Finance Program, including transportation. In a national study of charter school funding (University of Arkansas, Charter School Funding: Inequity Expands, 2014), Florida charter schools were receiving on average $7,649 per pupil in public funds, while traditional public schools would have received $10,109 for those students. As a result, the state’s charter schools were receiving $2,460 per pupil—or 24.3 percent—less than what the traditional public schools would have received for those students. This figure includes all sources of funding, and analysis reveals some continued inequities for both operational and capital funding (see Component #19 for information on capital issues).
