Text: 4 The Florida Administrative Code Rule 6A-6.0334 provides in pertinent part: (3) An exceptional student who is transferring from an out-of-state public school who has a current IEP and evaluation data necessary to determine that the student meets Florida's eligibility criteria for special programs or does not meet the district's dismissal criteria, may be placed immediately in the appropriate educational program(s), without temporary assignment.... (4) Temporary assignment. A transferring exceptional student may be temporarily assigned to a special program for exceptional students for a period not to exceed six months. (5) The school board shall establish policies and procedures for temporary assignment of transferring exceptional students, including but not limited to the following: ... (e) Developing a temporary individual educational plan for eligible exceptional students in accordance with Rule 6A-6.0331, FAC.; and (f) Providing notice and obtaining parental consent for temporary assignment in accordance with Rule 6A-6.03311, FAC. If there is evidence of the parent's consent to the student's initial placement in a special program, or for those exceptional students who are adjudicated and placed in commitment programs, awaiting assignment to commitment programs for delinquent dependents, or detained awaiting adjudication, only informed parental notice of temporary assignment is required. (g) Within six (6) months of temporary assignment, a staffing committee shall meet a decision on eligibility for permanent assignment shall be made and an IEP committee shall determine placement in accordance with Rules 6A-6.0331 and 6A-6.03311, FAC.... Summary judgment may not be granted unless the pleadings depositions, answers to interrogatories, affidavits, and admissions on file show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Celotex v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986); Fed.R.Civ.P.56. The moving party satisfies its burden by showing an absence of evidence to support an essential element or the nonmoving party's case. Celotex, 477 U.S. at 317, 106 S.Ct. at 2549. Once the moving party demonstrates the absence of a genuine material fact, whether or not accompanied by affidavits or other proof, the nonmoving party must go beyond the pleadings and by her own affidavits, or by the depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file,' designate specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial.'  Celotex, 477 U.S. at 324, 106 S.Ct. at 2553 (quoting Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(e)); Hoffman v. Allied Corp., 912 F.2d 1379, 1382 (11th Cir.1990).
