ITEM SUMMARY: The Florida legislature recently included statutory language allowing for a student to participate in a "personalized education program" (PEP) in accordance with F.S. 1002.01 and 1002.395. Pursuant to F.S. 1002.01, PEP students must be provided the same flexibility and opportunities as home education students provided in F.S. 1002.41 (3)-(12). Accordingly, new Policy 9271 was drafted to provide guidelines for the district’s PEP. Moreover, F.S. 1002.395 allows PEP students to use scholarship funds for contracted services provided by a public school or school district, including classes. As such, an option exists in the new policy for entering into such a contract. WILL SUBMITTER BE DELIVERING SIGNATURE DOCUMENTS TO BOARD SECRETARY?

The purchase and installation of wall pads at the Bucklake Elementary School is gender neutral, ADA compliant, and provides inclusive spaces for all students. If permitting is required the Code Enforcement Department will require all necessary documents for the project to be inspected. The project will be funded through Bucklake Elementary School PTO funds. On occasion, booster organizations and parent teacher organizations raise money for a facility or equipment for a school, specific sport or organization of the school. In accordance with Policy 7230.01, it is the responsibility of the school district to ensure that several concerns are addressed, including: · the financial ability of the organization to complete the project, · the impact on gender equity issues (Title IX), · the impact on district wide equity among all schools, · building code (vendor insurance will be checked at that time also ), SREF and other safety requirements; · long-term maintenance required for the new facility. Prior to the Superintendent making a recommendation to the Board, various departments (financial auditor, gender equity, purchasing, student athletics and construction) reviewed each of the issues above to ensure that it is a good investment for Leon County School Board. A review of established standards is conducted to protect our students and the school district.
