Student Success Plans

Personalized Success Plans for Every Student

Retool the existing requirements in grades 6–12 so that every Florida student receives a personalized academic and career roadmap built in partnership with parents and educators, one that gives every student multiple viable pathways to the American Dream after high school. The plan is not a bureaucratic box to check; it’s a living document that evolves with the student.

• Built by 6th grade: Every student gets a tailored success plan no later than 6th grade, with annual updates through graduation.

• Endless Paths: College, university, workforce/trade, military, entrepreneurship, and hybrid pathways are equally resourced and equally respected.

• Parents in the room: Families are co-authors, not bystanders. Annual plan reviews include parent conversations.

• Real-world checkpoints: Internship, apprenticeship, and industry certification milestones are baked into each plan, not treated as add-ons.

• Better graduates: Transparency for parents means schools are held accountable so that each student is receiving a plan to express their God-given talents. No more education factories or status quo.

Education Dollars Follow the Student

Florida’s education funding should be attached to the student’s path, not locked into a default track.

That means:

• Stackable credits count: Dual enrollment, industry certifications, and apprenticeship hours earn real credit toward graduation and career milestones.

• No dead-end detours: Students who change paths—from university to trade, or trade to startup—don’t lose time or money. Their plan updates with them and all options remain on the table.

• Employer partnerships built in: Industry partners co-design the career tracks so credentials mean something to the people writing the paychecks.
