Overview

RULE:

6A-1.099812

Education Accountability for Department of Juvenile Justice Education Programs

PURPOSE:

The purpose and effect is to repeal Rule 6A-1.099812, F.A.C., as the rulemaking authority for the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) Accountability Ratings model no longer exists. Sections 1003.52(1)(d), (14)(m), and (16), F.S., required an accountability model that evaluated the delivery of education services within each juvenile justice program, including detention, prevention, day treatment and residential programs. The statutory requirements were repealed in 2024 via HB 1425, Section 27.

SUMMARY:

Currently, all eligible juvenile justice programs are evaluated under the DJJ Accountability Ratings model. During the 2024 legislative session, HB 1425 amended s. 1003.52, F.S., to remove the requirement for the DJJ and the Department of Education to “implement a joint accountability, program performance, and program improvement process” and to add the requirement that juvenile justice detention, prevention, and day treatment programs be evaluated as alternative schools under the school improvement ratings model. Further, the evaluation of juvenile justice residential programs will be conducted under an accountability model developed by the DJJ for the Florida Scholars Academy under s. 985.619, F.S.
