16 Section 1. Section 1003.576, Florida Statutes, is amended
17 to read:
18 1003.576 Individual education plans for exceptional
19 students.—The Department of Education must develop and have an
20 operating electronic IEP system in place for potential statewide
21 use no later than July 1, 2007. The statewide system shall be
22 developed collaboratively with school districts and must include
23 input from school districts currently developing or operating
24 electronic IEP systems.
25 Section 2. Present paragraphs (d) through (i) of subsection
26 (2) of section 1004.015, Florida Statutes, are redesignated as
27 paragraphs (e) through (j), respectively, and a new paragraph
28 (d) is added to that subsection, to read:
29 1004.015 Higher Education Coordinating Council.—
30 (2) Members of the council shall include:
31 (d) The Chancellor of Career and Adult Education.
32 Section 3. Upon the expiration and reversion of the
33 amendment to section 1008.46, Florida Statutes, pursuant to
34 section 11 of chapter 2016-62, Laws of Florida, subsection (1)
35 of section 1008.46, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
36 1008.46 State university accountability process.—It is the
37 intent of the Legislature that an accountability process be
38 implemented that provides for the systematic, ongoing evaluation
39 of quality and effectiveness of state universities. It is
40 further the intent of the Legislature that this accountability
41 process monitor performance at the system level in each of the
42 major areas of instruction, research, and public service, while
43 recognizing the differing missions of each of the state
44 universities. The accountability process shall provide for the
45 adoption of systemwide performance standards and performance
46 goals for each standard identified through a collaborative
47 effort involving state universities, the Board of Governors, the
48 Legislature, and the Governor’s Office, consistent with
49 requirements specified in s. 1001.706. These standards and goals
50 shall be consistent with s. 216.011(1) to maintain congruity
51 with the performance-based budgeting process. This process
52 requires that university accountability reports reflect measures
53 defined through performance-based budgeting. The performance
54 based budgeting measures must also reflect the elements of
55 teaching, research, and service inherent in the missions of the
56 state universities.
57 (1) By March 15 December 31 of each year, the Board of
58 Governors shall submit an annual accountability report providing
59 information on the implementation of performance standards,
60 actions taken to improve university achievement of performance
61 goals, the achievement of performance goals during the prior
62 year, and initiatives to be undertaken during the next year. The
63 accountability reports shall be designed in consultation with
64 the Governor’s Office, the Office of Program Policy Analysis and
65 Government Accountability, and the Legislature.
66 Section 4. This act shall take effect July 1, 2017.
