Pre-Operational Schools

One of the Florida Charter School Alliance’s goals is to support the expansion of high-quality, autonomous public charter schools. Great schools require great leaders, which is why we offer a low-cost Charter Pre-Operational School Membership to individuals interested in starting charter schools.

Through our Charter Pre-Operational School Membership, the Alliance provides individualized support throughout every phase of the process, from writing your charter petition through authorizer approval. We offer technical assistance, workshops, as well as offer guidance specific to your needs. With direct assistance from Alliance team members and consultants, Pre-Operational School Members get a leg up in developing a strong and fully-compliant petition with a higher likelihood of being approved by local authorizers and starting strong.
