The purpose of this rule development is to establish penalty procedures by the State Board of Education (SBOE) for assessing a fine to Florida College System (FCS) institutions and Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) that fail to report child abuse as required by s. 39.205(10), F.S. FCS institution administrators and LEAs are required to report information received about child abuse that occurred on institution property or at an event sponsored by the institution to the Florida Department of Children and Family Services. This rule also defines the term “administrator” and the term “law enforcement agency.” The effect of this rule is that if an administrator of an FCS institution or an LEA is informed of child abuse and does not report it, the institution will be fined $1,000,000 by the SBOE. FCS institutions will be allowed to challenge the SBOE’s determination that there was a knowing and willful failure to report this information.
