COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

State Board of Education (SBE) Rules 6A-1.09412, 6A-1.09414, and 6A-6.0571, FAC, which address Course Descriptions, allow districts and schools greater flexibility in designing educational programs which meet the needs of their students. Districts are authorized to approve a variance of up to 10% of the course requirements of any Course Description. In addition, district school boards may request a waiver to allow a school to substitute locally-approved course requirements within a Course Description, provided these substitutions adequately address the major concepts and content contained in the Course Description and provided the waiver request is submitted in accordance with specified procedures. Career and technical education (CTE) licensure/certification programs may not use the 10% variance.

The following language was stricken from page 7:

COMMUNITY SERVICE

Section 1003.43(k), F.S., For students entering 9th grade prior to school year 2007-2008, allows school boards to award a maximum of one-half credit in social studies and one-half elective credit for student completion of non-paid voluntary community or school service work. Students choosing this option must complete a minimum of 75 hours of service in order to earn the one-half credit in either category of instruction. In order to earn two one-half credits, students would have to complete 150 hours of service. Credit may not be earned for service provided as a result of court action. School boards that approve the award of credit for student volunteer service must develop guidelines regarding the award of such credit, and school principals are responsible for approving specific volunteer activities. Under the provisions of this legislation, the DOE has prepared course descriptions for a half-credit elective course in social studies, Voluntary School/Community Service (2104330) and a half-credit general elective course, Voluntary Public Service (0500370).

The following change was made on page 30:

Subsection 6A-1.0955(3), F.A.C. Rule 6A-1.0955(3)(a)(7), F.A.C., requires each school district to keep a record of courses taken and a record of achievement, such as grades, unit, or certification of competence. Student records cannot be altered at any time unless it has been determined that the information is inaccurate or in violation of the privacy or other rights of the student. All courses and grades must be included on the student’s transcript. The authority for the school board to adopt a forgiveness policy does not provide the authority to alter a student’s record to delete the forgiven course and grade. The forgiveness policy authorization is for the express purpose of assisting students in meeting the requirements necessary to graduate from high school, including a minimum grade point average and successful completion of academic credit or curriculum requirements. The school board does not have the authority to purge that student’s record to delete the first grade. All forgiven courses and grades must be included on a student’s transcript as an accurate reflection of the student’s record of achievement.

The following language was stricken from page 30-32:

The following change was made on page 35:

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADULT STUDENTS (Section 1003.43(6), F.S.)

Graduation requirements for students in adult education programs who are earning standard diplomas are identical to the requirements for a traditional 24-credit high school diploma students in grades 9-12, with the following exceptions:

1)The one credit in physical education is not required for graduation and shall be substituted with elective credit to keep consistent the total number of credits needed for graduation.

2)School boards may waive the laboratory component of the science requirement when facilities are inaccessible or do not exist.

3)The one credit in performing fine arts required for high school graduation can be substituted with an elective credit that is consistent with the total credits needed for graduation. The one credit in performing arts shall be satisfied by enrollment in and satisfactory completion of any course in 9th grade or above listed in the music, dance, theatre, speech, debate, and visual art areas of Section 3.

The following language was changed on pages 41-42:

POSTSECONDARY READINESS COLLEGE SUCCESS COURSES

Section 1008.30(3), F.S., requires provides an opportunity for postsecondary readiness testing for identified of high school students and remediation prior to high school graduation. Through collaboration between Florida school districts and colleges, high school courses that mirror the highest level of developmental education offered in the Florida College System were developed. These “College Success” courses are aligned to the Postsecondary Readiness Competencies, and when combined will fulfill core English or mathematics subject area credit available for school districts to offer at the high school level to prepare students for entry-level college credit courses in mathematics and English.

 

First Semester	Second Semester	Total Credits Earned
1200410 Mathematics for College Success (.5 high school elective credit)	MAT 1033 Intermediate Algebra (dual enrollment 3 college elective credits)	1 high school mathematics credit + 3 college elective credits

 

1008350 Reading for College Success (.5 high school elective credit)	1009370 Writing for College Success (.5 high school elective credit)		1 high school English/Language Arts core credit
These courses are not sequential
SLS 1011 Student Life Skills (dual enrollment 3 college elective credits)		.5 high school elective credit + 3 college elective credits

 

 

Note: As one-semester, stand-alone courses, the College Success courses count as electives toward high school graduation. A student must successfully complete both pass each courses to receive core English or mathematics with a grade of “C” or higher and pass the Florida Basic Skills Exit Test at a locally-determined cut score to be guaranteed entry to the first college-credit course in the subject area credit. As paired courses, and with GPA requirements, the College Success courses will satisfy core English or mathematics subject area requirements for high school graduation purposes, and are considered college-preparatory for the Bright Futures Scholarship Program.

The following change was made on page 45:

Beginning with students entering grade 9 in the 2006-07 school year, the revised language for Section 1007.271(16), F.S. Section 1007.27(16), F.S., requires districts to weigh dual enrollment courses the same as AP, IB, and AICE courses when grade point averages are calculated. Alternative grade calculation, weighting systems, or information regarding student education options which discriminate against dual enrollment courses are prohibited. The 2006 Legislature specified for the purpose of class ranking, district school boards may exercise a weighted grading system pursuant to Section 1007.271, F.S.

The following language was changed on pages 45-46:

College Preparatory Courses

The following courses are considered college preparatory to meet eligibility requirements of the Bright Futures Scholarship Program.

As one-semester, stand-alone courses, the College Success courses count as electives toward high school graduation. A student must successfully complete both pass each courses to receive core English or mathematics with a grade of “C” or higher and pass the Florida Basic Skills Exit Test at a locally-determined cut score to be guaranteed entry to the first college-credit course in the subject area credit. As paired courses, and with GPA requirements, the College Success courses will satisfy core English or mathematics subject area requirements for high school graduation purposes, and are considered college-preparatory for the Bright Futures Scholarship Program.

 

First Semester	Second Semester	Total Credits Earned (for completion of combination of courses only)
1200410 Mathematics for College Success (.5 high school elective credit)	MAT 1033 Intermediate Algebra (dual enrollment 3 college elective credits)	1 high school mathematics credit + 3 college elective credits
First Semester	Second Semester	Total Credits Earned (for completion of combination of courses only)
1008350 Reading for College Success (.5 high school elective credit)	1009370 Writing for College Success (.5 high school elective credit)	1 high school English/Language Arts core credit
