Charter legislation includes a provision for the renewal of a charter contract for those schools that have successfully completed their contract term. The school district's process for contract renewal consideration includes the submission of a letter of intent to renew the contract, a comprehensive program review, an update of the charter application, and the development of a new contract.

Consistent with established procedures, a district review team assessed the school's performance relevant to student achievement, finance, governance, administration, curriculum and instruction, and assessment.

Attached is a report of the review team's findings and recommendations (Attachment 1). Staff recommends approval of a five-year contract for Tampa Bay Academy Charter School (Attachment 2). An application update including a five-year budget and management agreement submitted by the school are Appendix I of the contract. Appendix II is the annual goals submitted by the school.

The attached application update, academic goals, and management agreement are original documents submitted by Tampa Bay Academy Charter School.
