Eligibility for Charter School Capital Outlay

PURPOSE:

To revise eligibility requirements for charter school capital outlay to conform to statutory revisions and clarify additional eligibility requirements provided for in law.

SUMMARY:

In the 2016 legislative session, section 1013.62, F.S., the charter school capital outlay law, was amended to change the eligibility criteria for capital outlay from three years of school operation to two. Additionally, legislators clarified that evidence of a financial emergency condition would render an applicant ineligible. In addition to the changes above, the proposed rule also: Specifies thresholds for feeder patterns; Establishes deadlines for providing evidence of SACS accreditation; Determines what constitutes failure to meet satisfactory student achievement for purposes of receiving capital outlay; Specifies that eligibility for the additional school weights for free or reduced price meals for schools that serve students under the Community Eligibility Provision of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 shall be determined by applying the multiplier authorized in Section 11(a)(1)(F)(vii) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act. The proposed rule also incorporates by reference Form IEPC-CO1, the official application necessary to request capital outlay.
