Overview

RULE:

6A-6.05282

College Reach-Out Program

PURPOSE:

This amendment clarifies and updates the academic and economic criteria sections that participating postsecondary educational institutions use to determine student eligibility in the College Reach-Out Program. In the academic criteria section, the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) 2.0 assessment and the citation of Section 1008.25(4)(a), Florida Statutes (F.S.), will be removed and replaced with the Florida Standards Assessments (FSA) including the specific assessments of English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics.  The new citation is Section 1008.22, F.S. This removes outdated reference material associated with the poverty guidelines; the authority citation (42 U.S.C., ss. 601, et seq) related to the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families; and the economic criteria related to a student’s “family income” and “temporary cash assistance.” This amendment aligns the state’s new standards for mathematics and ELA and clarifies eligibility criteria for students to participate in the College Reach-Out Program.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule revises the academic and economic criteria sections that participating postsecondary educational institutions use to determine student eligibility for the College Reach-Out Program.
