DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

State Board of Education

The State Board of Education announces an emergency meeting to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME: July 29, 2019, 9:00 a.m.

PLACE: Conference Call: 1(800)367-2403, Passcode: 7435742.

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: This is an emergency meeting of the State Board of Education to consider Emergency Rule 6AER19-01, Content Expert for Best and Brightest Recruitment Award.

Effective July 1, 2019, the legislature provided school districts funding to recruit classroom teachers who are content experts in certain subjects. The criteria to identify content experts must be established by the Department of Education. However, most public schools in Florida are set to begin on August 12th and there is not sufficient time before school starts to establish this criteria by the normal rulemaking process. The criteria for content area experts is proposed to allow school districts to utilize funds for recruitment at the beginning of this school-year.

A copy of the agenda and proposed emergency rule may be obtained by contacting: Chris Emerson at [phone] or [e-mail] or by visiting the Department’s website at http://www.fldoe.org/policy/state-board-of-edu/meetings. This meeting will also be webcast at www.fldoe.org.
