District School Superintendents August 2, 2011 Page 7 1003.428(2)(b)1., F.S., now states, “A high school student who scores at Level 1 or Level 2 on FCAT Reading but who did not score below Level 3 in the previous 3 years may be granted a 1-year exemption from the reading remediation requirement; however, the student must have an approved academic improvement plan already in place, signed by the appropriate school staff and the student's parent, for the year for which the exemption is granted.” Common Placement Testing for 11 th Graders in 2011-12 You received a memorandum from Chancellor Will Holcombe and me on June 20, 2011, providing background and requirements for certain students to be evaluated for college readiness prior to grade 12. In particular, students who scored in Achievement Levels 2 or 3 on FCAT 2.0 Reading or Achievement Levels 2, 3, or 4 on FCAT Mathematics in grade 10 must take the common placement test or its equivalent. Florida’s current common placement test administered by Florida College System institutions is the Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (P.E.R.T.). Other assessments that meet the equivalent test requirement are identified in State Board Rule 6A-10.0315, F.A.C. At this time, the Department has not finalized plans for administration of the common placement test for grade 11 students who are required to take it. However, the legislature has appropriated funds for this purpose and the Department will conduct a competitive procurement process for these services. High schools will administer the P.E.R.T. or its equivalent during the 2011-12 school year to those grade 11 students who are required by statute to take it. It will be a computer-based test with the usual exceptions for students whose IEP indicates paper-based accommodations are required. Information on the P.E.R.T. can be found in Florida’s Postsecondary Education Readiness Test Study Guide available at http://www.fldoe.org/schools/pdf/PERT-StudentStudyGuide.pdf. We will maintain communication with your district’s P.E.R.T. contact and provide further details as they become available. Your patience as these details are resolved is greatly appreciated. Postsecondary Preparatory Instruction for 12 th Graders in 2011-12 The Department will be initiating rule development as required in s. 1008.30, F.S., to identify the Postsecondary Readiness Competencies that will be the basis for the required postsecondary preparatory curriculum. Information is forthcoming regarding postsecondary preparatory curriculum and course placement decisions based on common placement test scores. Support for Students and Parents To support student and parent understanding of middle grades promotion, high school graduation requirements and college, career, and military preparation, the Department has developed the brochure “Pathways to Success, College and Career Readiness – Middle and High School Planning Guide for Students & Parents.” This brochure is attached for district use. We encourage you to distribute this as part of your middle school and high school open house and orientation programs.
District School Superintendents August 2, 2011 Page 8 Finally, my wishes for a smooth launch to the 2011-12 school year for you, your staff, and students as you begin a year of renewed opportunities for Florida’s students to learn and perform at levels to ensure they are ready for the next phase of education or career. Thank you for your commitment to their success.
