Florida League of Women Voters study on school choice and report on charter schools

June 14, 2014 Written by Yevonne Brannon

The Florida League of Women Voters issued a report that’s highly critical of the state’s charter school program. The report found that Florida charters have a 20% closure rate due to financial problems or poor academic performance. Education historians like Diane Ravitch have begun passing out the report, calling it a “bombshell.”

The report outlines the League’s positions on schools choice, including the following:

  • Charter schools are designed to serve unmet needs with a primary focus on low-income families, reading and innovative instructional methods.
  • Because charter schools are called public schools, their management requirements should be similar.
  • A charter school should have at least 1 community resident who answer to parents and the community.
  • Charter schools, like public schools, must report financial information in a similar manner.

Read the League of Women Voters of Florida Statewide study on school choice and consensus report on charter schools.

Sen. Phil Berger said the budget will “put student outcomes and parental choice ahead of bureaucracy.” But it DOESN'T. No meaningful student outcome checks exist, & private schools accept who they want. It is a disaster. #nced
