  233  Statutes, is amended to read:
  234         1003.4156 General requirements for middle grades
  235  promotion.—
  236         (1) In order for a student to be promoted to high school
  237  from a school that includes middle grades 6, 7, and 8, the
  238  student must successfully complete the following courses:
  239         (a) Three middle grades or higher courses in English
  240  Language Arts (ELA).
  241         (b) Three middle grades or higher courses in mathematics.
  242  Each school that includes middle grades must offer at least one
  243  high school level mathematics course for which students may earn
  244  high school credit. Successful completion of a high school level
  245  Algebra I or Geometry course is not contingent upon the
  246  student’s performance on the statewide, standardized end-of
  247  course (EOC) assessment. To earn high school credit for Algebra
  248  I, a middle grades student must take the statewide, standardized
  249  Algebra I EOC assessment and pass the course, and in addition,
  250  beginning with the 2013-2014 school year and thereafter, a
  251  student’s performance on the Algebra I EOC assessment
  252  constitutes 30 percent of the student’s final course grade. To
  253  earn high school credit for a Geometry course, a middle grades
  254  student must take the statewide, standardized Geometry EOC
  255  assessment, which constitutes 30 percent of the student’s final
  256  course grade, and earn a passing grade in the course.
  257         (c) Three middle grades or higher courses in social
  258  studies. Beginning with students entering grade 6 in the 2012

  261  responsibilities of federal, state, and local governments; the
  262  structures and functions of the legislative, executive, and
  263  judicial branches of government; and the meaning and
  264  significance of historic documents, such as the Articles of

  266  Constitution of the United States. Beginning with the 2013-2014
  267  school year, each student’s performance on the statewide,
  268  standardized EOC assessment in civics education required under

  276  social studies or two year-long courses in social studies that
  277  include coverage of civics education.
  278         (d) Three middle grades or higher courses in science.
  279  Successful completion of a high school level Biology I course is
  280  not contingent upon the student’s performance on the statewide,
  281  standardized EOC assessment required under s. 1008.22. However,
  282  beginning with the 2012-2013 school year, to earn high school
  283  credit for a Biology I course, a middle grades student must take
  284  the statewide, standardized Biology I EOC assessment, which
  285  constitutes 30 percent of the student’s final course grade, and
  286  earn a passing grade in the course.
  287         (e)One course in career and education planning to be
  288  completed in 6th, 7th, or 8th grade. The course may be taught by
  289  any member of the instructional staff. At a minimum, the course
  290  must be Internet-based, easy to use, and customizable to each
  291  student and include research-based assessments to assist
  292  students in determining educational and career options and
  293  goals. In addition, the course must result in a completed
  294  personalized academic and career plan for the student; must
  295  emphasize the importance of entrepreneurship skills; must
  296  emphasize technology or the application of technology in career
  297  fields; and, beginning in the 2014-2015 academic year, must
  298  include information from the Department of Economic
  299  Opportunity’s economic security report as described in s.
  300  445.07. The required personalized academic and career plan must
  301  inform students of high school graduation requirements,
  302  including a detailed explanation of the diploma designation
  303  options provided under s. 1003.4285; high school assessment and
  304  college entrance test requirements; Florida Bright Futures
  305  Scholarship Program requirements; state university and Florida
  306  College System institution admission requirements; available

  309  Program; the Advanced International Certificate of Education
  310  Program; dual enrollment, including career dual enrollment; and
  311  career education courses, including career-themed courses and
  312  courses that lead to industry certification pursuant to s.
  313  1003.492 or s. 1008.44.
  314  
  315  Each school must inform parents about the course curriculum and
  316  activities. Each student shall complete a personal education
  317  plan that must be signed by the student and the student’s
  318  parent. The Department of Education shall develop course
  319  frameworks and professional development materials for the career
  320  and education planning course. The course may be implemented as
  321  a stand-alone course or integrated into another course or
  322  courses. The Commissioner of Education shall collect
  323  longitudinal high school course enrollment data by student
  324  ethnicity in order to analyze course-taking patterns.
