| SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS | |
| Approve Consolidation of Pepin Academies and Pepin Transitional School | |
| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
| Charter legislation includes a provision for charter schools operating under the same governing board to consolidate. In accordance with Florida Statute 1002.33(7)19(c), "a charter may be modified during its initial term or any renewal term upon the recommendation of the sponsor or the charter school's governing board and the approval of both parties to the agreement. Modification may include, but is not limited to, consolidation of multiple charters into a single charter if the charters are operated under the same governing board and physically located on the same campus, regardless of the renewal cycle."
Pepin Academies, Inc. is requesting a consolidation of Pepin Academies, a 3rd-12th grade program and Pepin Transitional School, a program for 18-22 year old students for educational and fiscal purposes. Attached is the letter from Pepin Academies, Inc. requesting the consolidation. |
