Bill > H1341

This bill makes several changes related to charter schools and public education in Florida, including granting charter schools and school district programs an exemption from ad valorem taxes, meaning they will not have to pay property taxes on their facilities. It also revises how class size maximums are calculated for schools of choice, generally by looking at the average number of students at the school level, and modifies requirements for charter school applications, student enrollment processes, and the use of capital outlay funds, which are funds for building and maintaining school facilities. The bill also introduces provisions for "academically high-performing school choice districts," which are districts that meet certain criteria for academic performance and choice programs and will receive more flexibility similar to high-performing charter schools, and requires all public educational facilities to comply with the Florida Building Code.
