School Improvement Rating for Alternative Schools.

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this rule amendment is to implement amended requirements of Section 1008.341, Florida Statutes, which include revising the percent-tested requirement to 80 percent for schools to qualify for a rating, limiting ratings to no higher than “maintaining” for schools that test less than 90 percent of eligible students, and applying high school retake scores in the calculation of school improvement ratings.
These revisions will be effective beginning in 2013-14.

SUMMARY:

This rule implements requirements of Sections 1008.34 and 1008.341, Florida Statutes, concerning Florida’s school improvement ratings for alternative schools, including a description of criteria identifying alternative schools, each type of data that is used in calculating school improvement ratings, how school improvement ratings are calculated, and requirements for crediting back scores from students at alternative education centers to home schools in cases where the alternative school elects to receive a school improvement rating instead of a school grade.
