Overview of Process for Florida Retake Candidates
2005-2006 Candidate Cycle
FL Retake Guidelines
Federal subsidy funding will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis (based on the date a candidate submits their retake app)
Only candidates who have not previously received federal funding are eligible to receive an allocation
Allocations will be made in the amount of $350 per candidate (The cost for each retake entry/exercise is $350)
Funding is limited and no more allocations will be granted once all funds are expended, regardless if the deadline has passed or not.
FL Retake Process
1. NBPTS will create a report that identifies, in application submission order, the FL retake candidates who have not previously received federal funding.
2. NBPTS/FL DOE will use this report to create weekly transmittal memos that will be forwarded for processing.
3. IMPORTANT: Allocations will be awarded until either all FL federal subsidy funds have been expended or until January 13, 2006, whichever comes first.
Things To Do
DHETP Contacts: • Disseminate information to candidatesFL DOE:• Update information on all state –produced
materials (including DOE Web site)NBPTS:• Update FL retake information on NBPTS
Web site
Things To Keep In Mind
• FL/DOE will send the first transmittal memo for processing on Wednesday, November 23. After that, transmittal memos will be sent for processing twice a week.
• Eligible candidates should allow 7-14 days between the time they submit their retake application and the time the allocation is reflected on their account
Things To Keep In Mind, cont.
• Candidates will be responsible for making payments directly to NBPTS for any entry/exercise they wish to retake above and beyond what is funded with federal subsidy
• Retake materials (for those candidates who are retaking portfolio entries) will not be shipped until full fee payment has been paid
Highlights!
• No more checks mailed to the DOE!• Retake application batches will be processed bi-
weekly, so candidates should receive their materials much more expeditiously than in years past!
• Requires no extra action or request from the candidate! NBPTS will let the DOE know who has submitted a retake app and who is eligible!
• Process is streamlined!
