Quick Summary / Abstract
Approve the Charter School Renewal Agreement for The Charter Schools of Excellence, Inc., on behalf of Charter School of Excellence Tamarac 1 - 5201.

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 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 program review from The Charter Schools of Excellence, Inc., on behalf of Charter School of Excellence Tamarac 1 - 5201.  Notwithstanding the mitigating factors, the Committee has recommended a renewal with a specific remedial action clause in its Charter Agreement.
