- The purpose of this rule development is to conform to statutory changes enacted by the 2014 Florida Legislature. As a result of the addition of section 1008.22(9), Florida Statutes (F.S.), Rule 6A-1.0943, F.A.C., is being revised to provide a definition of “medically complex” and to specify procedures to request an exemption based on the requirements in statute. In addition, unrelated to 2014 legislation, language regarding unique accommodations and eligibility criteria for the administration of the Florida Alternate Assessment is proposed for revision.
- The purpose of this rule development is to revise Form 313181 as referenced in paragraph (10)(b) of rule 6A-6.0331. Specifically section 1003.4282, F.S., was amended during the 2014 legislative session to create new standard diploma options for students with disabilities beginning with the student cohort entering grade 9 in 2014-2015. Special diploma will no longer be an option for these students. Students instructed in access points curriculum and administered the Florida Alternate Assessment will be able to work toward a standard diploma given this legislation. Therefore, the form must be revised to align with this statutory change. In addition, unrelated to legislative changes during 2014, timelines related to the evaluation process for students with disabilities are proposed for revision.
Rule 6A-6.03028 is updated to reflect changes in section 1003.4282, F.S., which was amended during the 2014 legislative session and section 1003.5716, F.S., which was created during the 2014 legislative session. The changes require that students with disabilities declare an intent to pursue a standard diploma or a certificate of completion. Additionally, students with disabilities will also declare whether they intend to pursue a Merit or Scholar designation. Beginning in the 2015-2016 school year, the individual education plan (IEP) must reflect a statement of intent regarding the Career and Professional Education (CAPE) digital industry tool certificates and the CAPE industry certifications that the student seeks to attain before high school graduation. The Model Communication Plan for students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing is also proposed for revision. Lastly, a revision made during the 2013 legislative session with regard to reimbursement for charter schools is referenced. Rule 6A-6.03411 is in development to update a definition and make a statutory correction.

The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on July 15, 2014.
The Board=s Order, filed on August 21, 2014, declines to answer the Petition for Declaratory Statement. The Board determined that the Petitioner is not licensed under Chapter 477, F.S., and is not a “substantially affected person,” and therefore lacked standing to request a declaratory statement and declined to answer the petition.
