    Common Assessment for Educational Programs in Department of
    Juvenile Justice Facilities
    In support of the Department of Education’s strategic imperative to improve student
    rates of learning, section 1003.52(3)(b), Florida Statutes, requires the Department of
    Education, with assistance from school districts, to select a common assessment
    instrument for measuring the progress of students while in a juvenile justice education
    program. We are pleased to announce the selection of the Basic Achievement Skills
    Inventory (BASI) as the common student assessment instrument.
    We will be announcing under separate cover information regarding regional trainings for
    administration of the BASI.
    If you need additional information, please contact Karen Denbroeder or Lisa Robinson
    via email at karen.denbroeder@fldoe.org or lisa.robinson@fldoe.org or by telephone at
    (850) 245-0475.
    Thank you for continuing to provide at-risk students a quality education.
