Charter Schools

John Palmerini

Issues

Issues

What are Charter Schools?

•Charter schools are considered part of the public school system in the state of Florida. (§ 1002.33(1), Fl. Stats.:

“All charter schools in Florida are public schools.”

•Charter schools are operated by the governing board of a not-for-profit corporation established for the purpose of operating a charter school. (§1002.33(12)(i), Fl. Stats.)

Issues

Charter School approval process•A charter applicant submits an application by August 1 •The School Board has 60 days to vote on the charter application unless extended by mutual agreement•If the School Board approves an application, the parties enter a charter contract negotiation phase. The School Board must present a proposed contract to the charter applicant within 60 days of Board approval of the application. The parties then have 75 days after the charter contract is presented to negotiate the charter contract

Issues

Land Use•The first time a location and facility for a charter school must be identified by the charter applicant is in the charter contract. §1002.33(7)(b)(1)(13), Fl. Stats. The charter school does not need a facility and location to submit an application to the School Board to open a charter school. A proper rezoning of a proposed school site is not a prerequisite for charter application approval.

Issues

Facility requirements for charters•Startup charters must comply with the Florida Building Code, but startup charters do not have to comply with the State Requirements for Educational Facilities (“SREF”) (§1002.33(18)(a), Fl. Stats.)•Conversion charter schools (public schools changed to charter schools) have to comply with SREF•Facilities must comply with the Florida Fire Prevention Code as adopted by the jurisdiction in which the charter is located. (§1002.33(18)(b), Fl. Stats.)

Issues

• “The local governing authority shall not adopt or impose any local building requirements or site-development restrictions, such as parking and site-size criteria, that are addressed by and more stringent than those found in the State Requirements for Educational Facilities of the Florida Building Code.” (§1002.33(18)(a), Fl. Stats.)

Issues

• “Beginning July 1, 2011, a local governing authority must treat charter schools equitably in comparison to similar requirements, restrictions, and processes imposed upon public schools that are not charter schools.” (§1002.33(18)(a), Fl. Stats.)

Issues

Impact Fees•Charters can be created specifically to mitigate the educational impact created by new development. (§1002.33(18)(f), Fl. Stats.) If a charter is so created, “some or all of the educational impact fees required to be paid in connection with the new residential dwelling units may be designated instead for the construction of the charter school facilities that will mitigate the student station impact.” Such facility must comply with SREF.
