6M-4.100: Definitions

The Office of Early Learning hereby gives notice:

On June 27, 2013 the Office of Early Learning issued a Final Order granting the Redlands Christian Migrant Association (RCMA) a temporary variance from Rule 6M-4.100, Florida Administrative Code. The petition for temporary variance was received by the Office of Early Learning on January 15, 2013. Notice of receipt was published in the Florida Administrative Register, Volume 39, Number 26 on February 7, 2013. No public comment was received. The Order grants variance from paragraph 6M-4.100(22), F.A.C., which provides the definition of “working family” in the context of determining the eligibility to receive services for the state’s school readiness program. The Office determined that the variance will allow working families to remain eligible for school readiness services if after receiving services their eligible work activities are reduced from 20 hours per week minimum to a 15 hour per week minimum. If the variance is not granted to RCMA, it would create a substantial hardship to both RCMA and the individuals served.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting:

Ed Hoover, Office of Early Learning, 250 Marriott Drive, Tallahassee, FL 32399, email: [e-mail].
