Circles of Success
• How can a student advocate for himself if there is
no real understanding of “SELF”?
• How can a student know what things he needs in
order to be successful if he has not participated in
conversations about strengths, gifts, areas of
need?
• How can a student discuss his “documentation with
personnel at the postsecondary level if he does not
know what it is or what it says?
• Self-Determination in Citrus County Schools

Online Requirement and
Blended Learning Labs
Board Presentation
Online Requirement
 s. 1003.4282, F.S At least one course within the 24 credits
required under this section must be completed through online
learning. A school district may not require a student to take the
online course outside the school day or in addition to a student’s
courses for a given semester. An online course taken in grade 6,
grade 7, or grade 8 fulfills this requirement. This requirement is
met through an online course offered by the Florida Virtual
School, a virtual education provider approved by the State Board
of Education, a high school, or an online dual enrollment course.
A student who is enrolled in a full-time or part-time virtual
instruction program under s. 1002.45 meets this requirement.
This requirement does not apply to a student who has an
individual education plan under s. 1003.57 which indicates that
an online course would be inappropriate or to an out-of-state
transfer student who is enrolled in a Florida high school and has
1 academic year or less remaining in high school.
