Agenda Item #9

Title
APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD OF SARASOTA COUNTY TO BE THE SOLE AUTHORIZER FOR CHARTER SCHOOLS WITHIN SARASOTA COUNTY FOR THE 2007-08 SCHOOL YEAR

Description
In October 2006, the school district submitted a resolution to the Florida Department of Education indicating its intent to be the sole authorizer of charter schools within Sarasota County for the 2006-07 school year. At the current time, none of the 47 exclusivity resolutions submitted for the 2006-07 school year have been acted upon by the State Board of Education (SBE). By statute, exclusivity resolutions for the 2007-08 school year are due to FLDOE by March 1, 2007. Districts have been advised by the FLDOE that, although no additional documentation is required, the exclusivity resolutions themselves for the 2007-08 school year need to be submitted by the March 1, 2007 deadline.

Recommendation

That the resolution for the School Board of Sarasota County to be the sole authorizer for charter schools in Sarasota County for the 2007-08 school year be approved as presented.
