2 (b) Any child who has attained the age of six years on or before September 1 of the school year and who has
been enrolled in a public school or who has attained the age of six years on or before September 1 and
has satisfactorily completed the requirements for Kindergarten in a private school from which the district
school board accepts transfer of academic credit, or who otherwise meets the criteria for admission or
transfer in a manner similar to that applicable to other grades, shall progress according to the district’s
student progression plan. However, nothing in this section shall authorize the state or any school district
to oversee or exercise control over the curricula or academic programs of private schools or home
education programs.

English Language Learners (ELLs) Entry Requirements
For an ELL, administration of the FLKRS-Star Early Literacy should be conducted as close as
possible to the conclusion of the 30-day administration period and after the English language
proficiency test has been administered. A student identified, as ELL should be screened, unless
the student has arrived in the United States in the last 30 days and is a beginning level speaker
according to the English Language Development Continuum (ELDC).

Students with Disabilities (SWD) Entry Requirements

A SWD, who is entering Kindergarten and has a current Individual Education Plan (IEP) or a
gifted student who has an Educational Plan (EP), as well as evaluation data necessary to
determine that the student meets Florida’s eligibility criteria for special programs, will be
placed immediately in the appropriate educational program(s) without temporary assignment.
The receiving school must review the current IEP/EP and may revise the document as
necessary, following appropriate procedures. The IEP Team will determine whether the FLKRS-
Star Early Literacy is appropriate for Kindergarten students with disabilities.
