School-Entry Requirements Waiver for Students Displaced by Hurricane Dorian

On August 29, Governor Ron DeSantis issued Executive Order 19-190, declaring a state of emergency as a result of the severe threat posed by Hurricane Dorian. While Florida was largely unscathed, our neighboring states and the Caribbean experienced significant impacts, and Florida school districts have already begun receiving displaced students. On September 5, Commissioner Corcoran signed a supplemental order waiving school-entry documentation requirements that may impede enrollment, including immunizations, health examinations, age verification and transcripts. The Florida Department of Education has developed a guidance document based on frequently asked questions by schools and districts related to Hurricane Dorian.  Click link below to access that document.
