6A-1.09441: Requirements for Programs and Courses Which are Funded Through the Florida Education Finance Program and for Which the Student May Earn Credit Toward High School Graduation
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of this rule amendment is to update the Course Code Directory and Instructional Personnel Assignments by which school districts receive FEFP (Florida Education Finance Program) funding. The effect will be an updated directory of courses for students to take to earn credit toward high school graduation.
SUMMARY: This rule amendment will add new courses approved by the Commissioner of Education, remove outdated/deleted courses, and incorporate legislative policy changes.
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 rule is not expected to require legislative ratification pursuant to Section 120.541(3)(a)1., F.S., as there will be no impact on economic growth, job creation or employment, private-sector investment, or business competitiveness. Any increase in regulatory costs would not approach the statutory thresholds for legislative ratification.
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.
