6A-1.09441: Requirements for Programs and Courses Which are Funded Through the Florida Education Finance Program and for Which the Student May Earn Credit Toward High School Graduation
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of this rule development is to amend the 2008-2009 Course Code Directory and Instructional Personnel Assignments. This amendment is necessitated by the implementation requirements of 2008 legislation (Senate Bill 1908), which added flexibility for the high school graduation requirement in arts. Specified practical arts courses can now be used to meet the Performing/Fine Arts requirement for high school graduation, so the Course Code Directory must be amended via this rule to reflect the new designation.
SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: Course Code Directory – assignment of Performing/Fine Arts designation to specific practical arts courses for purposes of meeting high school graduation requirement.
SPECIFIC AUTHORITY: 1001.02(1), 1011.62(1)(r) FS.
