The effect will be rules that include applicable cross references, and improved access to information on the required content of evaluations for school district personnel and families. The purpose of rule development for Rule 6A-6.03022, F.A.C., is to conform cross references to a rule that has recently been revised and to delete a section of rule related to a funding methodology that is now obsolete. The effect will be a rule that includes applicable cross references and accurate content. The purpose of rule development for Rule 6A-6.03027, F.A.C., is to align requirements for general education interventions and activities prior to evaluation with Rule 6A-6.0331, F.A.C., which was recently revised. The effect will be the consistent alignment of requirements across these two rules. The purpose of rule development for Rule 6A-6.03028, F.A.C., is to change the requirement related to when an individual educational plan (IEP) team must give consideration to a student’s need for information and instruction in the area of self determination from age 16 to age 14. The effect will be earlier consideration of the student’s needs for skills that will support active participation in the development of the student’s IEP. The purpose of rule development for Rule 6A-6.0331, F.A.C., is to include a recent change in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) with regard to revocation of parent consent. The effect will be policies and procedures that align with the requirements of IDEA.
