Overview

RULE:

6A-1.09422

Coordinated Screening and Progress Monitoring System and Statewide, Standardized Assessment Program Requirements

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this proposed amendment is to revise the definition of “Progress monitoring” to specify that administration guidance for the Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) progress monitoring assessments will be provided in Rule 6M-8.620, Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) Coordinated Screening and Progress Monitoring Program.

SUMMARY:

During the 2024 Legislative Session, the Legislature passed Senate Bill 7004, which, among other measures, amended s. 1008.25(9)(b), F.S., to specify that students in the summer prekindergarten program must only participate in FAST twice per program. The Division of Early Learning is working to amend Rule 6M-8.620, F.A.C., to provide guidance on how summer VPK programs should administer FAST. To avoid duplication and increase clarity, this amendment will clarify that scheduling guidance for these programs will be provided in Rule 6M-8.620, F.A.C.
