As a result of changes to Section 381.006(16), Florida Statutes (F.S.), brought about by the signing of House Bill 5311, the Department of Education (DOE), in consultation with the Department of Health (DOH), is required to develop rules for public and private schools. DOE has indicated that it will take some time before they are able to address this issue, and have asked DOH to continue to use the current rule (Chapter 64E-13, Florida Administrative Code, School Sanitation), on an interim basis with several modifications. Therefore, the purpose of this rule is to repeal rule language identified by the DOE. The effect will be that public and private schools will no longer have to comply with the requirements that are removed. This workshop will be held to address school sanitation in public and private schools.
