2411.01 - COLLEGE/CAREER READINESS ASSESSMENT
Brevard Public School juniors take a college/career readiness standardized assessment, unless waived by the Individual Education Plan (IEP), to provide an indication of their readiness for postsecondary education and careers. The results are used by high school counselors to assist students to refine individual aspirations, goals, and needs and develop the Senior Year Plan to complete the program of study.
Effective with the Graduating Class of 2010-2011, the College/Career Readiness Assessment shall be used as follows:
| A. | High school counselors shall use the results of the college/career readiness assessment to advise the students of any identified deficiencies and through directive counseling to develop the Senior Plan which may include courses in addition to the minimum graduation requirements. | |
| B. | 12th grade students have access to appropriate college/career readiness instruction through the regular school programs prior to high school graduation. |
| 1. | The college/career readiness instruction provided shall be a collaborative effort between secondary and postsecondary educational institutions. | ||
| 2. | Florida Virtual School may be used to provide the college/career instruction. |
| C. | Students who demonstrate readiness by achieving the minimum College Readiness Test Scores (ACT, CPT, SAT) established by the State Board and enroll in a community college within two (2) years of achieving such scores shall not be required to enroll in remediation courses as a condition of acceptance to any community college. | |
| D. | Upon high school graduation, all institutions within the Florida College System will recognize successful completion of the college/career readiness course as evidenced by a grade of "C" or better in the course. | |
| E. | A high school student who achieves the required exit pass score at the completion of the college/career readiness course will not be required to repeat the equivalent postsecondary remedial course or be re-tested when enrolling at a public Florida community college/college/State college within two (2) years of completion. |
The Superintendent shall develop and update as needed administrative procedures to implement this policy.
