a publicly accessible website, including a district school board's official website, that meets the requirements of section 50.0311, F.S. The purpose of the draft

The draft amendments to Rules 12D-17.003 and 12D-17.004, F.A.C., add the option for a district school board to advertise its intent to adopt a tentative budget
on a publicly accessible website and clarify the option for advertising in a newspaper of general circulation.
