Quick Summary / Abstract
REVISED

Authorize the Superintendent to notify Automotive Technical Charter High School of South Florida, Inc., (Parkway Academy - 5181), of the proposed non-renewal of the Charter School Agreement and Renewal Application based upon the grounds stated in the Executive Summary and to refer any request for a hearing, upon the proposed non-renewal, to the Florida Division of Administrative Hearings.

The terms and conditions for the operation of a charter school are set forth by the governing board of the charter school and The School Board of Broward County, Florida, in a written contractual agreement that constitutes a school's charter. Pursuant to Section 1002.33(8)(b), Florida Statutes, a school's charter school agreement may be renewed subject to a program review and provided that none of the statutory grounds for non-renewal have been documented. The Superintendent's Charter School Review Committee reviewed and analyzed the renewal application from Automotive Technical Charter High School of South Florida, Inc., (Parkway Academy - 5181), and has recommended the non-renewal of the charter agreement.

It is requested that SBBC authorize the Superintendent to send the letter (Exhibit D), notifying Automotive Technical Charter High School of South Florida, Inc., (Parkway Academy - 5181), of the proposed non-renewal of the charter agreement. Automotive Technical Charter High School of South Florida, Inc., (Parkway Academy - 5181), agreed in Section 2.D.1.b., of the current Charter School Agreement that good cause would exist for its non-renewal, if the school did not meet contractual or statutoral requirements. In the event that Automotive Technical Charter High School of South Florida, Inc. (Parkway Academy - 5181) requests a hearing, the SBBC is requested to authorize the referral of such request to the Florida Division of Administrative Hearings. An Executive Summary is attached which specifies the grounds for the non- renewal.
