The School Choice/Charter School office is accepting applications for new charter schools in Duval County to open in 2012-2013.
Charter Schools are public/nonsectarian schools that operate on a contract (charter) with the Duval County School Board. They have their own governing boards and operate independently of the local school district.
TRAINING
Legislation was passed during the 2009 Session that requires charter school applicants to participate in training prior to filing an application. To assist charter school applicants in meeting this requirement, the Florida Department of Education will offer training workshops in various locations throughout the state.
The Duval County Public Schools Charter School Office will not provide this training nor does the New Applicant Orientation offered by the Charter School Office meet this training requirement.
Section 1002.33(6)(g), F.S., states that a charter school applicant must participate in training provided by the Department of Education before filing an application. Any individual or group that is planning to submit an application for the 2011 application cycle must participate in one of the trainings scheduled below, even if they participated in the new applicant training last year.
Trainings for the 2011 application cycle are to be determined. Please visit https://www.floridaschoolchoice.org/Information/Charter_Schools/ for updates.
If you have any questions related to new applicant training, please contact the Charter School Training Coordinator, Tera Teders, at tera.teders@fldoe.org.
