Fto�ida Municipal
Charter School Foundation
FIRST CLASS SCHOOLS FOR FiRST CLASS CIT{ES
Floridc� N1uni�ippl
�harter Sthoc�( �oundation
Background:
Chdrter schools are public schools fhat operate under a performance contract, or a
"charter" which frees t�em from many regulations created for traditional public schools while
holding them accountable for academic and financial results. The charter contract between
the charfer school governing board and the sponsor details the school's mission, program,
goals, studenls served, methods of assessment and ways to measure success. Charters can
be issued io a Non Pro#it Corporation, a Coilege or University or a M.unicipality.
M�nicipal Charter Schools �MCS) or Charter schaols-in-a-municipqlity are sponsored
by focal schaol districts in, parfr�ership with a municipality. Unlike regu►ar Charter Schools, a
MCS can give preferenCe to students who live within their Municipalify. Such schoots enroll
students based upon a random lottery that involves all of the children of the residents of the
municipafiiy.
Currently, few Municipalities have opened a MCS, however those that have pre
experiencing outstanding success in Academics and Enrollmenf. These Municipalities credit
their Chdrfer Schools with maintaining or increasing property values. In addition, mosi
Municipol Charfie� schoals are self supporting and receive no s�bsidies ftom their municipalifiy.
The Question:
Since Municipal Charter schools have experienced such great success, why aren't there
more of them? IF creafing a Municipal Charter creates little to no financial burden on a
Mvnicipaliiy, but increases revenues by increasing property volues, then why wouldn't a city
� Form c� Municipal Char#er?
The Answer:
It is unusual to find a MUnicipality with expertise in education and the ability to complefie the
lengthy and compfex forms needed to obtain a Charter. Even if fihe municipafity employed
such an individual, obtaining a Charter, creaiing t'he governanee slruciure, apening and
operating a school require a tremendous effori that is difficult in times of reduced budgets
and staffing.
The Sol�iion:
The Florida Municipal Charter School Foundation is devoted 10 assisiing Nlunicipalities in
forr�ning, op�ning and operating Qualiiy Municipal Charter Schools by sharing of information
and expertise, pnd by �romating research and education related to Municipal Charfers. For
Mc�nicipalities wi�h an existing Charter Schools, they wiA be able to exchange in#ormation,
develop best manage,rnenl practices, and pool their resourees to produce educational
maierial fo€ bot#� #t�eir students and the public. Legal or legislative issues can be reseorcned
or advoca#ed joantly, which reduces cost and increases credibility.
�or Municipalities considering a Charter, lhere will be a pool of seasoned veterans
available to exp�ain the benefits and challenges associated with opening and running a
Charter SchooL For those Municipalities who have decided to proceed with a Charter
School, there will be assistance in filling aut the Charter application, creating governance,
deve{oping budgeis and confrols, creaiing operating procedures and policies, identifying
and interviewing service providers and evaluating and selecting �curricu�um. The Foundation's
goal is to a11ow municipalities to navigate the Charter School process wifhout creating a
burden o� i1s current staff or operating budget.

FAQ's
What is a Charter School? Charter schools are public schools t#�at operate
under a per#ormance contract, or a"charter" issued by #he local school board.
This frees them from many regulations created for traditional public schools while
holding them accountable for academic and financial results.
What is a Municipal Charter School? Municipal Charter Schools or Charter
schools-in-a-municipality are issued by the local school district in partnership with
a municipality, Such schools enroll students based upon a random lottery tha#
involves all of the children of the residents of the municipality.
How are Municipal Charter Schools created, organized, and operated? The
Municipality forms a not for profit entity that submits an application to the s�hooi
dist�ict_ After the school district approves the application, the not for profit
negotiates a contract with the dis#rict school board, and both parties agree upon
a charter or contract.
Haw are Municipal Charter Schools Governed? Typically #he Municipality
forms a separate not for profit organization or foundation. Its Board can be the
Commissioners themselves or they can be appointed by the Cammission, or
some combination. .
Ho�v much wiil the �llunicipa! Ct�arter Schoo! cost our City? Almost ali
municipal Charter Schools are self-supporting and do not require supplemental
fiunds #rom their Cit�r. Typically some startup money is required, which is usuaNy
repa�d in the first year of operation.
Why v�rou��i a Municipality want to open a Municipa� Charter School? It is all
- about �con�mic sus#ainability (property vaiues), home rule and municipat school
choice. The number one way to improve values in a Community is to have high
perf�rmir�g public s�hools. No ather single action taker� by a City can improve
property values as �uch as opening a Municipal Charter school. Municipalities
vvith their c�wn Munici�al Charter School typically have higher property values
then s�rrvunding communities. The ability for a City to contral its own desfiiny is
the basic principle of home rule.
How large does a City need to be to open a Municipal Charter School?
There are all types and sizes of Charter Schools. Flexibility and non-traditional
approaches are encouraged. A City may choose to open a large Traditional K
thru 12, or a small High Tech specialty school. With the emergence of Virtual
Learning in a supervised environment, the School can be designed to fit the
Community's needs.
But the schools that serve our City are already pretty gaod. "In the land of
the blind, the one eyed man is king". Your schools may be good in comparison
to other schools in Florida, but in comparison to other developed countries, our
public schools are uncompetitive internationally. Our schools are in the bottom
quartile of industrialized nations. In fact, Finland's bottom 10 percent is better
than our top 10 percent! As the world econamy becomes increasingly global, it
will be more and more difficult to attract multinatianal companies and their
executives to our communities: High perForming Municipal Charter schaols can
make us competitive in the world market.
How can we be assured that our school will serve only our residents?
While a normal Charter School cannot place restrictions on what students enter
the school, a Municipal Charter School can give priority to children who live
within the Municipality. Typically Municipal Charter Schools have a large waiting
list of students within this municipality, making it difficult or impossible for
someone outside the City to get in.
Won't a Municipal Charter School place a large burden on our staff? They
know nothing about Charter Schools. Up until now that has been correct and
is the main reason there are so few Municipal Charter Schools. That is why the
Florida Municipal Charter School Foundation (FMCSF) was formed. The FMCSF
is a not for profit foundation that has a panel of experts in education, finance and
governance vvho can help guide a municipality through the process. The FMCSF
will act as your staff in order to help your City bring a high perForming Municipal
Charter School to fruition.
