National Charter Schools Week

National Charter Schools Week, May 5-9, 2008, with Florida Charter Schools logo

Eleven years ago, the Florida Legislature passed the state's first charter school law that allowed five public charter schools to open their doors in the 1996-97 school year. Florida now has 358 charter schools that serve over 104,000 students. National Charter Schools Week will celebrate Florida’s charter schools, their successes, and their contributions to children, families, and the state’s entire educational system.
