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 November 18, 2008, the School Board approved the application for Newpoint High of Tampa. The school will serve students in grades 9-12. They will provide a state of the art technology program enhanced with project based learning and a professional internship program.
A copy of the proposed four year contract for the school is attached. The original charter application 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 additional curriculum to be used at the school, tests to be used for identification and screening of English Language Learners (ELL)students and re-wording of the management agreement.
In the event there is a discrepancy between the contract and the charter application, the terms of the contract will prevail. Newpoint High of Tampa 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.ANNUAL DISTRICT GOAL(S) AND CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR(S)
