    RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

    6A-1.09412Course Requirements - Grades K-12 Basic and Adult Secondary Programs

    PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of this proposed amendment is to revise course requirements for each course contained in the “2013-2014 Course Code Directory and Instructional Personnel Assignments” and “2014-2015 Course Code Directory and Instructional Personnel Assignments” for grades K-12/ Adult, Basic Education. The effect will be the proposed adoption of the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 course descriptions which will include English language arts, mathematics, literacy, mathematical practices, and health education standards as appropriate for each grade level and area content area.

    SUMMARY: Florida public school course descriptions for the basic education programs for grades K-12/ Adult, Basic Education have been revised to include English language arts, mathematics, literacy, mathematical practices, and health education standards as appropriate for each grade level and content area.

    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: Although the aforementioned courses have been revised or added to the course requirements for Grades K-12, Basic and Adult Secondary Programs, the majority of the content is not new to Florida students. The requirements have been revised to improve the quality of English language arts, mathematics, literacy, mathematical practices and health education standards as appropriate for each grade level and content area. As a result of these minimal changes, there is not likely to be a need for extensive revision of instructional materials.

    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.
