Status:
Authorize the Superintendent to notify RISE Education Schools, Inc., (RISE Academy of Science and Technology - 5389), of the proposed non-renewal of the Charter School Agreement and Charter Renewal Program Review.
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 has reviewed and analyzed the Charter Renewal Program Review submitted by RISE Education Schools, Inc., (RISE Academy of Science and Technology - 5389), and has recommended the non-renewal of the charter agreement.
It is requested that The School Board of Broward County, Florida, authorize the Superintendent to send the letter (Exhibit 3) notifying RISE Education Schools, Inc., (RISE Academy of Science and Technology - 5389), of the proposed non-renewal of the charter agreement. RISE Education Schools, Inc., (RISE Academy of Science and Technology ? 5389), 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. An Executive Summary is attached which specifies the grounds for the non-renewal. In the event that RISE Education Schools, Inc., (RISE Academy of Science and Technology - 5389), requests a hearing, The School Board of Broward County, Florida, is requested to authorize the referral of such request to the Florida Division of Administrative Hearings.
