| FL | Signed into law 05/2006 | P-12 | Beginning with students entering grade 6 in the 2006-2007 school year, promotion from a school composed of middle grades 6, 7, and 8 requires that: (a) The student must successfully complete academic courses as follows: 1.. Three middle school or higher courses in English. 2. Three middle school or higher courses in mathematics. Each middle school must offer at least one high-school-level mathematics course for which students may earn high school credit. 3. Three middle school or higher courses in social studies, one semester of which must include the study of state and federal government and civics education. 4. Three middle school or higher courses in science. 5. One course in career and education planning to be completed in 7th or 8th grade. The course must include career exploration using CHOICES for the 21st Century or a comparable cost-effective program; must include educational planning using the online student advising system known as Florida Academic Counseling and Tracking for Students; and shall result in the completion of a personalized academic and career plan.
Each school must hold meetings to inform parents about the course curriculum and activities. Each student shall complete an electronic personal education plan. By January 1, 2007, the Department of Education will develop course frameworks and professional development materials for the career exploration and education planning course.
The Commissioner of Education will collect longitudinal high school course enrollment data by student ethnicity in order to analyze course-taking patterns. For each year in which a student scores at Level l on FCAT Reading, the student must be enrolled in and complete an intensive reading course the following year. Placement of Level 2 readers in either an intensive reading course or a content area course in which reading strategies are delivered will be determined by diagnosis of reading needs. For each year in which a student scores at Level 1 or Level 2 on FCAT Mathematics, the student must receive remediation the following year, which may be integrated into the
student's required mathematics course.
Students in grade 6, grade 7, or grade 8 who are not enrolled in schools with a middle grades configuration are subject to the promotion requirements of this section.
