The purpose of this rule development is to include the science and mathematics scale scores for each achievement level for use in reporting student proficiency levels in science and mathematics as part of the student achievement testing programs known as the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test 2.0 (FCAT 2.0) Science, Geometry End-of-Course Assessment, and Biology 1 End-of-Course Assessment. In addition, with the elimination of FCAT Reading, the rule will be amended to include an equivalent passing score on the Grade 10 FCAT 2.0 Reading.
