Approve revisions to Policy 6000.1: Student Progression Plan, at this First Reading.
This District Policy 6000.1 Work Group, convened subcommittees to address issues and formulate proposed changes to the District Student Progression Plan for 2012-13. A broad representation of District and school-based staff, along with parents and students participated on the following subcommittees: Elementary Items, Middle School Items, High School Items, General Progression Items. The recommendations of these committees were vetted throughout the District. Participants in the vetting process included District Administrative staff, elementary school principals, middle school principals, high school principals, District Advisory Council, ESE Advisory Council, ESOL Leadership Council, Area Advisory groups and Student Advisors to the School Board. Additional changes were recommended based upon changes to Florida State Statutes. Following the vetting process, staff representing the Policy 6000.1 Work Group, provided Board Members with recommended changes at Board Workshops on February 28, 2012, and on May 22, 2012. A public forum was held on April 29, 2012. As a result of Board input, recommended changes are reflected in Policy 6000.1 revisions. The Chart of Substantive Changes addresses all changes that are being recommended at this time.
Copies of all supporting documents are available at the Board Members' Office on the 14th Floor of the K.C. Wright Building.
The changes within the proposed Policy/Rule to implement Committee recommendations are not estimated to result in any economic impact upon persons affected by the Policy/Rule. The updates of the Policy/Rule to comply with new state law mandates are estimated to have a fiscal impact of $4 million dollars to meet the technology requirements necessary for implementation.
