FLSigned into law 08/2002P-12Shifts responsibility for establishing rules regarding student report cards from state superintendent to state board. Modifies rules relating to remediation, retention and promotion. Specifically, as stated by legislative summary, "The bill requires retention of students whose reading deficiency is not remedied by the third grade, as demonstrated by scoring at Level 2 or higher on the third grade reading portion of the FCAT. Before third grade, students identified as having a substantial reading deficiency must be given intensive reading instruction." Also, "The bill requires that academic improvement plans describe specific areas of reading deficiency, desired levels of performance in these areas, and necessary support services. The bill requires written parental notification of a substantial reading disability, current services, proposed remediation, and a mandatory third grade retention requirement. The bill outlines good cause exemptions: Limited English Proficient students who have had less than two years of instruction in an English for Speakers of Other Languages program; those with disabilities whose individual education plan (IEP) indicates that participation in the statewide assessments is not appropriate; those who demonstrate an acceptable level of performance on an alternative standardized reading assessment approved by the State Board of Education; those who demonstrate, through a student portfolio, the mastery of the Sunshine State Standards in reading equal to a Level 2 performance on the FCAT; students with disabilities who were previously retained in kindergarten, first or second grade, who participate in the FCAT and whose IEP or 504 plan shows a remaining deficiency after intensive remediation in reading for more than two years; and students who have received the intensive remediation in reading for two or more years but still demonstrate a deficiency or who were previously retained in kindergarten, grade one or grade two for a total of two years. The bill requires the teacher to document and report any good cause exemption to the principal. The principal reviews and reports a recommendation to the superintendent who makes the final decision. Each step of this process must be in writing. The bill gives the State Board of Education authority to enforce these provisions by requiring that districts submit relevant data, allowing the Commissioner of Education to investigate noncompliance, ordering compliance within a specified time frame, and withholding funds in the event of continued noncompliance."

WVSigned into law 03/2002P-12The legislature finds that schools that have implemented programs to strengthen student learning ability are reporting statistically significant improvement in the statewide test scores in reading, language and math of students referred to the programs. Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature through this section to establish a more formal method to fund programs that strengthen student learning ability. The state board is required to establish a program for strengthening student learning ability that includes the following: (1) A procedure for schools to apply for funds to implement programs to strengthen student learning ability in accordance with the provisions of this section; (2) Specific factors for determining the need for each school applying for funds in accordance with subsection (e) of this section; (3) A method for judging applications for funds on a competitive basis; and (4) A determination of the maximum percentage of total funds appropriated for the purposes of this section which may be distributed for use in grades six through twelve so that the priority for program implementation is at the prekindergarten and elementary levels. Proposed programs must include the following:
