AP Course Letter

The Florida Department of Education has sent a letter to the senior director of the College Board Florida Partnership confirming that it will not approve the inclusion of the Advanced Placement African American Studies course in the Florida Course Code Directory. The FDOE found the content of the course to be contrary to Florida law and to significantly lack educational value. The FDOE remains willing to reopen discussions if the College Board is willing to come back with lawful and historically accurate content.

Mr. Barnes,

Please allow this letter to serve as confirmation that the Florida Department of Education
(FDOE) does not approve the inclusion of the Advanced Placement (AP) African American
Studies course in the Florida Course Code Directory and Instructional Personnel Assignments
(adopted in State Board of Education Rule 6A-l.09441, Florida Administrative Code). As
presented, the content of this course is inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly
lacks educational value.

In the future, should College Board be willing to come back to the table with lawful, historically
accurate content, FDOE will always be willing to reopen the discussion.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Office of Articulation at 850-245-0427.

Sincerely,

The Office of Articulation
