Purpose
To align with Rule 6A-1.094221, F.A.C., Alternative Standardized Reading Assessment and Use of Student Portfolio for Good Cause Promotion, which was updated in February 2022. For mid-year promotion on or before November 1, this rule amendment includes scoring Level 2 or above on the statewide, standardized English Language Arts assessment as an additional piece of evidence to show mastery of third grade reading skills. For mid-year promotion after November 1, the student’s progress must be sufficient to master appropriate grade four level reading skills equivalent to the level necessary for the month in which the transition occurs.
