RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
6A-1.099821: Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) Provider Kindergarten Readiness Rate
The summary of the SERC for Rule 6A-1.099821 is corrected to read:
There are more than 5,000 VPK providers in Florida who will receive readiness rates pursuant to Section 1002.69, F.S., however, an unknown number of providers who are both low-performing and who choose to continue receiving state funds to offer the program will be impacted. The Department’s estimation based on 2009-2010 data, is that approximately 2,500 providers could potentially fail to meet the readiness rate; of that number, an estimated 89 providers would receive a failing readiness rate subsequent to two years of probation, subjecting them to ineligibility to provide VPK services unless they are granted a good cause exemption.
