Florida S7036 amends education policies regarding student support, charter schools, and school safety.

Florida S7036 revises education policies to support students with reading deficiencies, enhance charter school operations, and improve school safety. It mandates that students with substantial reading deficiencies be covered by a federally required student plan. Charter schools can limit enrollment to specific student populations and may not dismiss students based on academic performance during school improvement plans. The bill also requires schools to maintain locked access points to the exclusive zone of a campus and mandates that instructional spaces be locked when occupied by students.
