Statutory Requirements for Turnaround Options
Section 1008.33, Florida Statutes, states—
(4)(a) The state board shall apply the most intense intervention and support strategies to schools earning a grade of “F.” In the first full school
year after a school initially earns a grade of “F,” the school district must implement intervention and support strategies prescribed in rule under
paragraph (3)(c), select a turnaround option from those provided in subparagraphs (b)1.-5., and submit a plan for implementing the turnaround
option to the department for approval by the state board. Upon approval by the state board, the turnaround option must be implemented in the
following school year.
(b) The turnaround options available to a school district to address a school that earns a grade of “F” are:
1.
Convert the school to a district-managed turnaround school;
2.
Reassign students to another school and monitor the progress of each reassigned student;
3.
Close the school and reopen the school as one or more charter schools, each with a governing board that has a demonstrated record of
effectiveness;
4.
Contract with an outside entity that has a demonstrated record of effectiveness to operate the school; or
5.
Implement a hybrid of turnaround options set forth in subparagraphs 1.-4. or other turnaround models that have a demonstrated record of
effectiveness.
(c) A school earning a grade of “F” shall have a planning year followed by 2 full school years to implement the initial turnaround option selected
by the school district and approved by the state board. Implementation of the turnaround option is no longer required if the school improves by at
least one letter grade.
…(5) A school that earns a grade of “D” for 3 consecutive years must implement the district-managed turnaround option pursuant to
subparagraph (4)(b)1. The school district must submit an implementation plan to the department for approval by the state board.
(6) The state board shall adopt rules pursuant to ss. 120.536(1) and 120.54 to administer this section. The rules shall include timelines for
