Bill > S0780

This bill, effective July 1, 2013, amends Florida Statutes concerning charter schools by adding new provisions to ensure that contracts for charter school employees and contracts for the operation of charter schools with educational service providers or vendors cannot extend beyond the duration of the school's own charter contract. Crucially, these new provisions stipulate that if a charter school closes, any remaining terms of these employee or vendor contracts become void, and neither employees nor service providers are entitled to compensation after the closure date, with violations of these rules being grounds for the closure of the charter school itself.
