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 amendment is to adopt a supplement to 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 arts requirement for high school graduation, so the Course Code Directory must be amended to reflect this distinction.
SUMMARY: The rule is amended to adopt the 2008 supplement to the Course Code Directory and Instructional Personnel Assignments which contains 215 practical arts courses to meet the high school graduation requirements in the arts.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: No Statement of Estimated Regulatory Cost was prepared.
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
