6A-1.09401Student Performance Standards

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of this amendment is to revise and adopt Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (Florida Standards) for Mathematics, Access Points to Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (Florida Standards) for Mathematics and Access Points to Next Generation Sunshine State Standards for Science as described below.

SUMMARY: Revise Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (Florida Standards) for Mathematics to correct one minor error, Access Points to Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (Florida Standards) for Mathematics to provide content for the Access Algebra II course, and Access Points to Next Generation Sunshine State Standards for Science to provide clarification to three standards.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION: The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the Agency.

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: This revision of standards is to correct minor errors not affecting content as well as adding access points for Access Algebra II. There will not be a need for revision of instructional materials. The proposed rule does not impose any direct fees and the regulated entities, public school districts and charter schools, will implement with existing resources without increased cost. It is not anticipated that this will increase costs of instructional materials as the revised standards are no more expensive to implement than the existing standards.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
