This law was established a decade ago to help our nation improve our education system. Although it has helped many students throughout the country, it has also had some limitations that we want to address. As such, the Department plans on applying for a flexibility waiver that will enable us to closely align our state's accountability system with a revised federal plan. Please take a moment to review our new web page and also share this information with your friends, colleagues and anyone you feel would like to participate in this state and national conversation on public education. You may view the web page here: www.fldoe.org/esea . We will soon post our draft application and solicit stakeholder feedback. Thank you for your support of public education.
