6M-8.301:Standard Statewide Provider Contract for the VPK Program

The Office of Early Learning hereby gives notice:

On August 1, 2016, the Office of Early Learning issued an Order granting Eglin Air Force Base, Hurlburt Field Air Force Base, MacDill Air Force Base and Patrick Air Force Base a waiver from Rule 6M-8.301, Florida Administrative Code. The petition for waiver was received by the Office of Early Learning on June 24, 2016. Notice of receipt was published in the Florida Administrative Register, Volume 42, Number 128 on July 1, 2016. A public comment was received. The Order grants a waiver to the prohibition of any amendments to the Standard Statewide Provider Contract, Form OEL-VPK20. The waiver permits the addition of an amendment or supplement to the contract to allow for necessary individualized provider information specific to the additional Federal rules and regulations that the military base VPK program providers are subject to. The Office determined that Petitioner has demonstrated that the purpose of the underlying statute has been met and that Petitioner would suffer a substantial hardship if denied the ability to amend select terms of the standard statewide provider contract for the VPK Program.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting Shonda Goldsmith, Agency Clerk, Office of Early Learning, 250 Marriott Drive, Tallahassee, FL 32399, [e-mail].
