AI Summary
- District school boards must include staffing and scheduling procedures for exceptional student education centers, special day schools, and separate classes in their policies, including procedures to notify parents of teacher assignments within the first 10 school days, changes in teacher assignments before they occur, and permanent changes in physical classroom assignments before they occur.
- District school boards must quarterly maintain records of student-to-staff ratio data for exceptional student education settings, including funding levels generated for each student's services, and make these records available to the department upon request.
- Changes to schedules and dissolution or combining of classes for students in exceptional student education centers, special day schools, or separate classes may only be made in accordance with State Board of Education rules.
- The Video Cameras in Public School Classrooms Pilot Program, originally limited to Broward County for a 3-year period beginning in the 2021-2022 school year, is converted into a permanent, statewide program requiring school districts to install video cameras in self-contained special education classrooms upon written parent request within 30 days.
- The State Board of Education is now required, rather than merely authorized, to adopt rules implementing both the exceptional student education procedures and the video camera provisions, with an effective date of July 1, 2024.
