Purpose


During the 2023 Legislative Session, s. 1008.213, F.S., was created by House Bill 1597 to provide for the flexible assessment administration of the statewide, standardized assessments specified in s. 1008.22(3)(a), (b), and (d), F.S., for the full-time Florida Virtual School (FLVS) student of a military family residing outside of Florida who is prevented by his or her parent’s or guardian’s out-of-state military duty station’s location from participating in a Florida-based FLVS secure and proctored exam. The purpose of this proposed amendment is to codify the requirements for how this provision for assessment flexibility must be implemented, as required by s. 1008.213(6), F.S.
