SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve Contract for King's Kids Academy of Health Sciences
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 13, 2011, the School Board approved the application for King's Kids Academy of Health Sciences. The school will serve students in grades K-5 a standard curriculum with an emphasis on Health Sciences

A copy of the proposed five-year contract for the school is attached. The original charter application approved by the School Board will become Appendix l 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 ll. The school's implementation plan for RtI is included as Appendix lll.

In the event of a discrepancy between the contract and the charter application, the terms of the contract will prevail. King's Kids Academy of Health Sciences 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.
