6. Notices of Petitions and Dispositions Regarding Declaratory Stat
- Department of Education
- Office of Early Learning
- Eric B. Epstein, Esq. on behalf of Scholar Tots, Inc. d/b/a Children’s Learning Academy; The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Volume 41, No. 191 of the October 1, 2015 Florida Administrative Register. The Petitioner sought a declaratory statement from the Office as to whether the pre- and post-assessment through Teaching Strategies Gold, as adopted in Rule 6A-1.09433, F.A.C. and administered according to Rule 6M-8.620, F.A.C. must be administered as an ongoing monitoring tool or is required to be performed during the AP1 and AP3 time frame similar to the complimentary assessment entitled the VPK Assessment. On December 21, 2015, the Office issued a Final Order addressing the Petition responding that the provider may implement the Teaching Strategies Gold as an ongoing monitoring tool but is not required to do so. Provider must implement the Teaching Strategies Gold pre- and post-assessments during the established AP1 and AP3 time frames. If the provider is a Provider on Probation that has chosen to implement the DOE-Approved Staff Development Plan, then the provider must also conduct the assessment under the AP2 time frame.

- Alberto E. Lugo-Janer, Esquire; Notice of the Petition for Declaratory Statement was published on October 12, 2015, in the Florida Administrative Register in Vol. 31, No. 198, Page 4759. The petition seeks a declaration from the Department as to whether section 493.6102(6), Florida Statutes, exempts the petitioner from obtaining a Class G Statewide Firearms License in accordance with section 493.6115, Florida Statutes, while performing work as an attorney. The Department declined to respond to the petition because it failed to meet the requirements for a declaratory statement: it contained no particular facts that the petitioner faces, nor does it present a controversy that requires resolution. Rather, the petition construes section 493.6105(6), Florida Statutes, as exempting Petitioner and other attorneys from firearm licensure under Chapter 493, and then asks the Department whether it agrees with his interpretation.
