Representative McClure and House staff outlined the House positions on the PreK–12 education offer during the conference committee meeting, and the House signaled acceptance of several Senate positions while maintaining or modifying others.
Denise Pavin, staff member, explained the House Offer 1 on SB 2510, saying the House closed rows 1 and 3, accepted the Senate’s positions on rows 4, 7, 10 and 11, modified the Senate’s positions on rows 2, 6 and 8, and maintained the House’s positions on rows 5 and 9. She said the House offered new positions on rows 12 through 16 that concluded the House’s offer.
Representative McClure described project-level funding changes reflected on the committee spreadsheet: adding $200,000 for line 127, identified as a North Florida after‑school agriculture and arts project, and adding $350,000 for line 134, identified as Roosevelt Elementary School (listed on the spreadsheet with a school‑improvement entry). The House also indicated acceptance of the Senate’s administered‑funds budget offer for education capital outlay where noted.
Tim Elwell, staff member, and Jessica Grasier, staff member, explained the Senate bump offers on proviso and back‑of‑bill language and said changes from the Senate bump language were highlighted on the spreadsheets; the Senate indicated two accepted House positions and one new issue in the back‑of‑bill education capital outlay rows.
Committee members recorded no public testimony on these education offers during the session. The House signaled readiness to continue negotiations later the same day; Representative McClure offered to meet additional times, and the meeting adjourned without objection.
