RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:
6A-6.03315Private School Scholarship Compliance
The Department of Education hereby gives notice: that on August 22, 2023, the Office of the Clerk for the Department of Education, received a Petition for Variance from Rule 6A-6.03315, F.A.C., Private School Scholarship Compliance. The petition requested a variance or waiver permitting the school to provide academic instruction in a manner other than prescribed by rule, to wit, outside the school’s physical location by use of a hybrid attendance model. The petitioner is NorthBay Christian Academy (5318), located in Clearwater, Florida.
Notice of the petition was published in Vol. 49, No. 167, F.A.R., on August 28, 2023. Having received and reviewed public comment on the petition, an Order of Denial was executed on November 3, 2023. Specifically, the Department’s Order of Denial finds that the Petitioner failed to demonstrate substantial hardship, violation of principles of fairness, or satisfaction of purpose of the rule’s underlying statutes by other means, and therefore does not merit issuance of the requested variance or waiver.
A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Chris Emerson, Agency Clerk, Department of Education, 325 West Gaines St., Tallahassee, FL 32399 or email: christian.emerson@fldoe.org.
