SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Student Progression Plan, K-Adult for 2008/2009 (Division of Curriculum and Instruction)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We request approval of the attached 2008/2009 Student Progression Plan. On December 10, 2008, the Florida Department of Education released the 2008/2009 Student Progression Plan Guide. The state guidebook, normally sent to districts in August, provided the statutory changes resulting from the 2008 Florida Legislature session and other pertinent information necessary for district review. To ensure alignment with the 2008/2009 State Student Progression Plan, elements have been added or modified within our District to comply with Florida Statutes as well as District procedural changes for elementary, middle, high school, career and technical, adult education, exceptional student education, English language learners and guidance.

Major changes are attached.
