SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve Termination of Contract for New Springs Charter School
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On February 27, 2007, the School Board approved a five-year contract for New Springs Charter School with terms of extending from July 1, 2007, through June 30, 2012. Due to facility issues, the charter school was unable to open for the 2007/2008 school year. The Charter School Board requested an extra year for planning so the school could open for the 2008/2009 school year. On July 18, 2008, the Board Chair for New Springs Charter School sent an email requesting additional planning time. Since district practice is to allow one additional year of planning, this request was not approved. The school was notified on July 22, 2008, of their option to reapply if they were interested in operating a charter school in Hillsborough County. Due to these circumstances, it is necessary to terminate the existing contract.
