Chapter:

Voluntary Prekindergarten Program

Overview

RULE:

60BB-8.700	Low-Performing Provider; Voluntary Prekindergarten Improvement Plan and Implementation
60BB-8.701	Low-Performing Provider; Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program First Year Probation
60BB-8.702	Low-Performing Provider; Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program Second Year Probation
60BB-8.703	Low-Performing Provider; Removal From Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program Eligibility

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the proposed rule development is to implement an improvement plan process by which Voluntary Prekindergarten Education (VPK) Program providers who fail to achieve minimum statewide kindergarten readiness rates, as determined by the State Board of Education, must comply with the provisions of Section 1002.67, Florida Statutes. Section 1002.75, Florida Statutes, requires the Agency for Workforce Innovation (the Agency) to adopt, in consultation with and subject to the approval of the Department of Education, procedures governing the administration of the VPK Program by the early learning coalitions and school districts for approving improvement plans of private prekindergarten providers and public schools under Section 1002.67, Florida Statutes; for placing providers on probation and requiring corrective actions under Section 1002.67, Florida Statutes; and for removing providers from eligibility to deliver the program due to remaining on probation beyond the time permitted under Section 1002.67, Florida Statutes. The proposed rules fulfill the Agency’s duty to adopt rules regarding the improvement process.

SUBJECT:

In accordance with Florida Statutes, the proposed rules address the requirements for approving improvement plans submitted by VPK providers; the corrective actions providers are required to implement when on probation; and the procedures for removal of a VPK provider by coalitions or school districts as a result of remaining on probation beyond the time permitted by statute.
