Parent Involvement Representative<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Florida Legislature passed a new law,<\/strong> <\/strong>SB 1546 (7)(d)1, which states:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(d)1.<\/strong> <\/strong>Each charter school\u2019s governing board must appoint a representative to facilitate parental involvement, provide access to information, assist parents and others with questions and concerns, and resolve disputes. The representative must reside in the school district in which the charter school is located and may be a governing board member, charter school employee, or individual contracted to represent the governing board. If the governing board oversees multiple charter schools in the same school district, the governing board must appoint a separate individual representative for each charter school in the district. The representative\u2019s contact information must be provided annually in writing to parents and posted prominently on the charter school\u2019s website if a website is maintained by the school. The sponsor may not require that governing board members reside in the school district in which the charter school is located if the charter school complies with this paragraph.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
