Structure Age Charter For Free

Students attending charter schools are outperforming their peers in district-run schools. A Florida Department of Education annual charter school performance report (March 2019) shows that students in charter schools outperformed their peers in traditional schools in nearly every category.

Florida Statutes require that teachers employed by or under contract with a charter school be certified in the same manner as all other public school teachers in Florida.

During the time a child is of school age, the child or student is entitled to attend the public schools of the resident school district or a charter school, or to attend other school districts as an eligible nonresident. Students who turn 21 during the school term are entitled to finish that school term.

Charter schools are non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations that have a contract or charter to provide the same educational services to students as district public schools.

The most commonly reported per-student spending figures in Florida are based solely on funding provided through the Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP). For the 2017-18 school year, Florida public schools would have spent an average of $7,307 ?per student? in FEFP funding.

Here are a few highlights that will be of interest to charter school leaders: per student funding now $8,143.

Charter schools are funded through the Florida Education Finance Program in the same way as all other public schools in the school district. The charter school receives operating funds from the Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP) based on the number of full-time (FTE) students enrolled.
