Purpose
The purpose of the rule development is to incorporate the legislative changes from House Bill 1285 (2024) and Senate Bill 7002 (2024), which amend Sections 1002.20 and 1003.53, Florida Statutes, to allow districts to adopt policies that allow parents to agree to an alternative method of notification upon a student's placement or service in a dropout prevention or academic intervention program and to add progress monitoring procedures to the minimum criteria for the academic intervention plan. Additional changes to improve clarity may also be considered.
