MEMORANDUM

TO: Career and Technical Education Directors
Adult Education Directors
Community College Presidents

FROM: Bonnie C. Marmor

SUBJECT: Assessment of Adult and Career and Technical Education Students

---

State Board Rules 6A-10.040 and 6A06.014 are in the process of being amended to include the Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE), versions 9 and 10. The process of amendment of state board rules is a lengthy process. We have had several requests from the field to allow the use of TABE 9 and 10 while the rules are being amended. Therefore, the memorandum will allow school districts and community colleges to begin using TABE 9 and 10 for their Adult and Career and Techincal Education (CTE) students if they wish to do so while the rules are in the amendment process.

TABE 7 and 8 will remain in both rules so that if the district or community college does not wish to change forms, they need not do so. TABE 7 and 8 will remain in both rules as long as CTB McGraw Hill continues to publish these forms.

If you have any questions concerning this memorandum, please contact Jane Silveria at (850) 245-9022, Suncom 205-9022, or jane.silveria@fldoe.org
