Text: 7 In January 2003, the Florida Legislature repealed its educational code, sections 228.001 through 228.041 of the Florida Statutes, to consolidate the educational code in one chapter. See Caldwell v. Bd. of Trs. Broward Cmty. Coll., 858 So.2d 1199, 1201 n. 1 (Fla. 4th DCA 2003). The legislature enacted in its place the Florida K-20 Education Code, sections 1000.01 through 1013.01, to structure the new educational system. The vast majority of the substance of the educational code remained the same; most sections were merely renumbered. See id. The major substantive change was to transfer the powers of the former Board of Regents to the Florida Department of Education. See Fla. Stat. §§ 1000.01-1013.01.
