Overview

RULE:

6A-6.0573

Industry Certification Process (Repealed)

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this rule amendment is to incorporate changes made by the 2012 Legislature to the governing statutes.  In addition, new certifications will be added to the Industry Certification Funding List, as incorporated by reference in the rule and referred to as the 2012-2013 Industry Certification Funding List.  The Industry Certification Funding List must include weights for each industry certification for use in the Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP) calculation, which are calculated on an annual basis.

SUMMARY:

The 2012 Legislature amended Sections 1003.491-1003.4935, Florida Statutes, and Section 1011.62(1)(o), Florida Statutes.  These changes require the Department to identify a list of industry certifications in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) that are appropriate for middle school students only.   This requires the adoption of a separate list of middle school STEM certifications.  The Department is adopting the “2012-2013 Industry Certification Funding List” and adopting by reference the “Comprehensive Industry Certification List, 2012-13” as approved and published March 1, 2012, by Workforce Florida, Inc.  In addition, the Department is adding a designation to items on the “2012-13 Industry Certification Funding List” for STEM certifications.
