th
 Beginning with students entering 6 grade in the 2012-2013 school year, per Florida
Statute § 1003.4156(1)(c), one of the courses must be at least a one semester civics
education course that a student successfully completes and that includes:

o the roles and responsibilities of federal, state, and local governments;
o the structures and functions of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of
government; and

o the meaning and significance of historic documents, such as the Articles of
Confederation, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution of the United
States.

 Transfer students who completed a social studies course at their previous school may have
that course evaluated to determine if it meets the criteria listed above to count as a civics
education course.
 Each student's performance on the statewide, EOC Assessment in civics education
constitutes 30 percent of the student's final course grade. Middle school students who do
not take the Civics EOC Assessment will receive an “I” in the course. After the student
makes-up the EOC, the final grade will be recalculated. (Refer to Florida Statute § 1008.22.)

NOTE: A middle school student who transfers into the State’s public school system from out of country, out-of-
th
state, a private school, or a home education program after the beginning of the second term of 8 grade is not
required to meet the civics education requirement for promotion from the middle grades if the student’s
transcript documents passage of three courses in social studies or two year-long courses in social studies that
include coverage of civics education. [Florida Statute § 1003.4156(1)(c)]
