Status:
Receive the 2013-2014 Annual Educational Equity Act Plan.
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, IB, AICE), Dual Enrollment (DE), and Level III courses (including AP, IB, AICE, DE, and Honors) 9th - 12th grade. In addition, the FEEA continues to request data on Single-Sex Schools/Classes and Treatment of Pregnant and Parenting Students.
A copy of the complete 2013-2014 Annual Educational Equity Act Plan is available at the Board Members' Office on the 14th floor of the K.C. Wright Building and available online via the Broward County Public Schools eAgenda at: http://eagenda3.broward.k12.fl.us/cgi-bin/WebObjects/eAgenda.
