RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
6A-1.099824: Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) Low Performing Provider Good Cause Exemption
The summary of the SERC for Rule 6A-1.099824 is corrected to read:
The Department’s estimation based on preliminary 2010-2011 data, is that approximately 2,200 providers could potentially fail to meet the readiness rate; of that number, an estimated 89 providers would receive a failing readiness rate subsequent to two years of probation, subjecting them to ineligibility to provide VPK services unless they are granted a good cause exemption. Each provider must show learning gains for 70% of its students to be granted a good cause exemption. This requirement is not estimated to increase regulatory costs because compliance with the rate can be achieved without additional costs, as demonstrated by a majority of providers.
