During the 2017 legislative session, Section 1002.333, Florida Statutes, was enacted thus allowing for the establishment and operation of Schools of Hope in the areas of persistently low-performing public schools. The statute directs the Department of Education to adopt rules to implement the section of law and to develop and adopt standard forms to be used. The proposed rule will adopt and incorporate the following forms: Form SOH1- Application for Hope Operator Designation; Form SOH2- Notice of Intent; and Form SOH3- Performance Based-Agreement.
