SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Contract for Kid's Community College Middle Charter 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 December 8, 2009, the School Board aproved the application for Kid's Community College Middle Charter School. The school will serve students in grades 6-8 using a standard curriculum.

A copy of the proposed four year contract for the school is attached. The original charter applicaton approved by the School Board will become Appendix I of this contract and will be available for review in the School Board Office. The school's academic goals and objectives are found in Appendix II. Appendix III includes a staff development plan for middle school.

In the event there is a discrepancy between the contract and the charter application, the terms of the contract will prevail. Kid's Community College Middle Charter 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 attached indicating where weaknesses are addressed in the contract.
