Rule 6A-6.0901, FAC., is amended to allow the use of electronic files for ELL Student Plans. Rule 6A-6.09022, FAC., is amended to require Districts to collect the date an ELL entered a U.S. school per Florida’s approved Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Waiver, and this date is now the ESOL program start date. The majority of ELLs’ anniversary dates fall within the first two weeks of school; therefore, the first two weeks are when the majority of Extensions of Services are needed. By allowing for the ELL Committee to meet by October 1, sufficient time will be provided for districts to re-evaluate student progress and analyze assessment results.
