Overview

RULE:

6A-1.09421

High School Competency Test Requirements (Repealed)

PURPOSE:

The purpose is to repeal Rule 6A-1.09421, F.A.C., because the rulemaking authority for the High School Competency Test (HSCT) no longer exists as Sections 1008.22(3)(c)(5), 1008.22(9), and 1008.22(11), F.S., have been amended since the rule was last adopted. Section 1008.22, Florida Statutes, now requires students to pass the grade 10 English Language Arts assessment and Algebra I end-of-course assessment to graduate with a standard high school diploma and only authorizes the designation of concordant and comparative scores for the statewide graduation assessments in Reading, English Language Arts, and Algebra I. Those who have not passed the HSCT as part of their graduation requirements will need to enroll in an adult education program to earn a standard high school diploma. In accordance with Rule 6A-6.020, F.A.C., those who enter adult high school after their ninth grade cohort has graduated or who are not part of a ninth grade cohort must meet the current grade 12 cohort’s graduation requirements that are in effect the year they enter adult high school.

SUMMARY:

Rule 6A-1.09421, F.A.C., required adults who have previously taken the HSCT but not yet earned a passing score to earn a concordant passing score on the corresponding assessment of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) in order to satisfy the testing component of their graduation requirements. The HSCT and FCAT are no longer administered.
