2025-2026 School Year

Dear Parent/Guardian,

This is to inform you of Florida State Board of Education statute related to required
instruction in health education topics for students in Grades K-12. Florida Statute 1003.42
requires school districts to develop a comprehensive, age-appropriate, and developmentally
appropriate K-12 instruction for various topics including suicide prevention, substance use and
abuse prevention, dating violence, abstinence, resiliency, and child trafficking prevention
education.

In accordance with Florida State Board of Education Rule 6A-1.094124, Required Instruction
Planning and Reporting requires school districts to annually provide a minimum of five (5) hours
of data-driven instruction to students in grades 6-12 related to civic and character education and
life skills education through resiliency using the health education standards, including the social,
emotional, and physical effects of social media.

To meet these mandatory state requirements, our school district utilizes an online program,
Navigate 360/Compass Curriculum, which contains lessons created by experts in the field and
cover grade level mandated topics in an appropriate, interactive manner. Lessons are presented
in an online format and may be presented either individually, in whole, or small groups. Families
have access to view all lessons by logging in through the student portal under the Clever app
where the Compass Curriculum app resides. It is important to note and reiterate that this
requirement is mandated by the Florida State Board of Education, and these lessons will be
presented to all secondary students in our district, including Dual Enrollment students and any
student participating virtual learning.

Thank you,
Tracy Murphy

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires that school districts provide parents with an annual state, district, and school status reports to include but not limited to the following: student achievement, accountability and subgroup data.

The FDOE uses data to produce readily accessible school and district report cards, providing transparent information to all stakeholders. The district report card specifically reports on progress toward transitioning students from one level (elementary, middle, high) to the next and reports graduation data.

The data can be found @ https://edudata.fldoe.org/index.html
