1.	All items 1-306 are valid for interdistrict, Bright Futures, and secondary transcript record transfer.
2.	Transfer up to 5 records per student.
3.	Send national and State of Florida test information for the current and two previous years. NOTE: Limited English Proficiency (LEP) students: Test scores used as the basis of entry into the LEP program must be maintained in the automated system and electronically sent as part of a student's record if the student moves between Florida public school districts. The test information used as the basis of entry into program must be maintained and sent even if the test records are more than three years old.
4.	Up to six test scores may be sent on one record. Send additional records if necessary. If less than six tests are sent leave all fields after last valid test blank.
5.	If a subject area for a test has more than two score types/scores repeat the subject area information with the additional score.
6.	If a test has more than nine subject areas, repeat the test information with the additional subject areas.
7.	Always send a total score if one is available; sub-tests may also be sent.
8.	The presence of LOW-VALUES in data fields causes significant problems for several institutions in the receipt of student records. A transaction will be rejected if non-displayable characters are sent in the data unless found in Filler Reserved for Local Use (last 9 bytes of each record type). Please use some other appropriate character (e.g., SPACES) with which to initialize your records before sending them.
9.	Unless it is completely blank, the Test Score field can contain only numbers. No decimal points or other nonnumeric characters are permitted. A score may, however, contain an implied decimal point. The presence or absence of such a decimal point in this field depends entirely on the value of Test Name. For example, if Test Name XYZ provides its scores in terms of "tenths," then a value of 0274 in this field indicates a score of 27.4.
10.	Required fields are indicated by an asterisk (*) next to the field name.
11.	Special characters, tilde (~), caret (^), and grave accent (`), are used as delimiters in the translation of FASTER to SPEEDE/ExPRESS. They are reserved symbols and as such cannot be included in data sent through FASTER to a SPEEDE/ExPRESS institution.
12.	The value "999999999G" is now a valid value for the Student Number Identifier, Florida, item 2.
13.	The definition of Grade Level, item 7, has been updated to agree with its definition in the Data Element list in the 2002-2003 DOE Student Information System Database Manual.
14.	The names of the Metropolitan Achievement Test and the Wide Range Achievement Test have been updated to agree with its definition in the Data Element list in the 2002-2003 DOE Student Information System Database Manual.
15.	Subtest codes EN and LW have been added as valid codes for the Stanford Achievement Test (STA).
16.	Three new Test Names have been added for the School Readiness Uniform Screening System. They are ESI (Early Screening Inventory), RFS (Ready for School), and WSS (Work Sampling System).
17.	New Subject Content Codes have been added for the FCA Test (50, FP, FZ, FV, and FT) and the three new SRUSS Tests.
