Notice is hereby given that the following changes have been made to the proposed rule in accordance with subparagraph 120.54(3)(d)1., F.S., published in Vol. 37 No. 41, October 14, 2011 issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly.

Subsections (2) and (3) are amended to read:

(2) Students who present college ready scores on either the College Board’s Accuplacer or SAT-I or the American College Testing Program’s Enhanced ACT test ~~that meet or exceed the scores shown below~~, are exempted from taking the Florida Postsecondary Education Readiness Test. The following scores meet college level competency:

(3) School districts must administer the Florida Postsecondary Education Readiness Test or an approved alternative identified in subsection (2) of this rule to high school students who meet the criteria established in Section 1008.30(3), Florida Statutes. High school students are exempt from payment for tests administered pursuant to Section 1008.30(3), Florida Statutes. Students who do not meet or exceed the scores established in subsections (1) and (2) of this rule must complete postsecondary preparatory instruction prior to high school graduation. Students who complete the postsecondary preparatory instruction required in Section 1008.30(3), Florida Statutes, will have completed an alternative remediation opportunity. Completion of alternative remediation in high school does not satisfy the requirement for demonstrating college readiness or completing college preparatory instruction. A student will be required to retest after alternative remediation and meet or exceed the scores established in subsection (1) or (2) of this rule to avoid required enrollment in college preparatory communication and computation instruction in accordance with subsection (1) of this rule.
