Purpose
Align the rule with section 1004.085(7), F.S., which requires the State Board of Education to receive input from students, faculty, bookstores, and publishers and put forth textbook and instructional materials affordability policies, procedures, and guidelines for implementation by Florida College System (FCS) institutions. The effect of this rule amendment will be to ensure FCS institutional policies align with statutory requirements. Passage of this rule would require FCS Boards of Trustees to update current policy related to textbook affordability. Additionally, college administration would be responsible for implementing procedures to certify that the provisions of the rule have been met.
