Purpose


The purpose of the rule development is to incorporate legislative changes from House Bill 1285 (2024), Senate Bill 7002 (2024) and Senate Bill 7004 (2024), which amend Sections 1008.33 and 1012.2315, Florida Statutes, and add requirements for school districts and charter school operators when the school districts select a charter turnaround option plan in the school improvement turnaround process. The rule changes under consideration are to define inexperienced teachers, clarify other requirements such as student enrollment, grade levels, rental or leasing fees, and administrative fees. Amendments may address a provision to allow the State Board to give a community partnership school additional time to implement a community school model. Additional amendments to turnaround requirements may be added.
