This report attempts to answer the questions most frequently asked by legislators, state agencies, external agencies, citizens, administrators, faculty, and students about Florida's 28 community colleges. Introductory sections describe the Florida public community college system history, philosophy, goals, and organization. Material on financial support, articulation, and legislative regulations pertaining to establishment of occupational, vocational, and general adult education programs is presented. The bulk of the report consists of 24 data tables that review: fall 1976 opening and end of term enrollments by class, program, and first-time, returning, or transfer status; winter and summer 1977 end of term enrollment by program; annual unduplicated and FTE (full-time equivalent) enrollment by term and discipline; annual occupational, developmental, and community instructional service programs headcount; dual enrollment and early admissions; degrees and formal awards; annual salaries for full-time instructional and non-instructional personnel; fringe benefits for faculty; revenues and receipts for current funds; educational and general expenditures; full cost summary; and direct cost of instruction. Its unusual balance of local control with state coordination and support has made the Florida master plan a national model for long-range planning and organization. (TR)
