The Florida Educational Equity Act (FEEA), Section 228.2001, F.S., became law in June 1984, and the rules for implementation were adopted by the State Board of Education in February 1985. The FEEA was amended in 1993 to mandate stronger monitoring and enforcement for gender equity in athletics. Rules for athletics were adopted in September 1994. The FEEA covers all educational programs and activities operated by public educational institutions. The FEEA implementing rules are consistent with federal laws prohibiting discrimination in employment and educational programs. The Department of Education has mandated continued focus on African American and Hispanic students' access to high quality instruction, including Advanced Placement (AP), Dual Enrollment (DE), Honors and Level III courses 9th - 12th grade. In addition, for the 2012-2013 school year, the FEEA has inquired as to whether or not the District has Single-Sex Schools/Classes and Treatment of Pregnant and Parenting Students.
