NOTICE OF CORRECTION

Notice is hereby given that the following correction has been made to the proposed rule in Vol. 35 No. 32, August 14, 2009 issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly.

A portion of subparagraph (8)(e)4. was inadvertently omitted in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking as published in the above stated issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly. This subparagraph should read as follows:

6A-1.09981 Implementation of Florida’s System of School Improvement and Accountability.

(8)(e)4. Performance in accelerated coursework, defined as Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), dual enrollment, Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE), and industry certification courses. Performance shall be calculated for the school by dividing the weighted number of grade 9-12 students with successful completions in accelerated coursework (numerator) by the count of all students in grades 9 through 12 who took an accelerated course or subject area examination during the academic year (denominator). For AP, IB, and AICE successful completion is defined as earning a passing score and being awarded credit for specific postsecondary course(s) as determined by the 2008 Articulation Coordinating Committee’s Credit by Exam Equivalencies list which is hereby incorporated by reference and may be obtained at http://www.fldoe.org/articulation/pdf/ACC-CBE.pdf. For dual enrollment successful completion is defined as a passing grade of “C” or higher in a dual enrollment course for college academic credit. For industry certification successful completion is defined as passing an industry certification examination on the State Board of Education approved industry certification funding list. Schools can earn additional successful completions for students who achieve industry certifications that result in credit for more than one (1) college course through statewide articulation agreements. Those agreements can be accessed at http://www.fldoe.org/workforce/dwdframe/artic_frame.asp.
