District Comprehensive Evidence-Based Reading Plans
6A-6.053 District Comprehensive Evidence-Based Reading Plan
Annually, each school district is required to submit a District Comprehensive Evidence-Based Reading Plan (CERP) approved by the applicable district school board or authority. After approval by its governing board or authority, each district must provide its CERP, including approved CERPs for each charter school sponsored by the district, to the Florida Department of Education (Department) by August 1. A district school board may use the format developed by the Department or a format developed by the district. District-developed CERP templates must include all of the CERP requirements described in Rule 6A-6.053, F.AC. Plans must be submitted to Just Read, Florida! via email at JustRead@fldoe.org.
The District Comprehensive Evidence-Based Reading Plan must accurately depict and detail the role of administration (both district and school level), professional development, assessment, curriculum, and instruction in the improvement of student learning of the B.E.S.T. English Language Arts Standards as provided in Rule 6A-1.09401, F.A.C. This information must be reflected for all schools and grade levels and shared with all stakeholders, including school administrators, literacy leadership teams, literacy coaches, classroom instructors, support staff and parents.
