Purpose


The purpose of the amendment to Rule 6A-1.09422, F.A.C., is to establish new concordant scores that align with the Grade 10 Florida Standards Assessment (FSA) English Language Arts (ELA) Assessment and comparative scores that align with the FSA Algebra 1 End-of-Course (EOC) Assessment. This amendment will incorporate significant portions of Rule 6A-1.094223, F.A.C., which will be repealed. Sections 1008.22(9) and (10), F.S., provide authority to the State Board of Education to adopt in rule passing scores that are concordant with the grade 10 ELA assessment and passing scores that are comparable to the FSA Algebra 1 EOC Assessment. The effect of this change will allow the Department of Education to codify concordant and comparative passing scores in rule.
