Authorizer Options for Florida Charter Schools

Within the last few years, two additional ones have emerged: Florida's State Colleges and the Florida Charter School Commission. Hear a discussion on these changes to Florida's charter school authorization and sponsorship processes, along with options for new applicants and existing charter schools.
