SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve Contract for Kid’s Community College Charter High School
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Charter School legislation, 1002.33 F.S., permits individuals, organizations, and community members the opportunity to submit an application to the School Board for the creation of a charter school. On January 12, 2016, the School Board approved the application for Kid’s Community College Charter High School. The school will serve students in grades 9 through 12 with a traditional high school curriculum.

A copy of the proposed five-year contract for the school is Attachment I. The original charter application approved by the School Board will become Appendix I of this contract, and will be available for review in the Charter School Office.

In the event of a discrepancy between the contract and the charter application, the terms of the contract will prevail. Kid’s Community College Charter High School has agreed to all terms of the contract, which has been revised to include the most recent revisions to 1002.33, F.S.

A copy of the application review summary is Attachment II indicating how the weakness will be addressed.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)

The school district retains a five (5) percent administrative fee for up to and including 250 students ($37,548) of FEFP funds to offset services provided by the district.  The school will also qualify for categorical, capital outlay, and grant funds as appropriate and allowed by Florida statutes.
