The State Board of Education adopts, by rule, standards of basic skill mastery for students completing postsecondary career certificate programs of 450 hours or more. Students enrolling in these certificate programs must complete a basic skills assessment within the first six weeks after admission to the program, and if necessary, the district or Florida college system institution offering the program must provide basic skills instruction. The statute provides for some exemptions. This rule amendment will adopt the 2019-2020 CTE Basic Skills Exemption List, which will be incorporated by reference, add a basic skills assessment instrument, remove an assessment instrument, update a reference item, and clarify and update language to conform with statute.
