The Florida Charter School Alliance:

Advancing the Charter School Movement in the Sunshine State

The expansion of educational choice and the charter school movement in Florida has been nothing short of remarkable. Since 1996, Florida charter schools have helped students make extraordinary academic gains, reduced the learning gap between minority and non-minority students, and provided parents with quality educational choices that also offer accountability and innovation. 
 
The Florida Charter School Alliance (FCSA) is a powerful and dynamic force behind the charter school movement’s success. Founded in 2010, we are the only non-profit, member-supported organization whose primary focus is charter advocacy. We also provide critical support in a variety of ways, including:

Legislation/Advocacy

  • Serving as the voice of the charter school movement in Tallahassee – educating legislators, speaking before Committees, and advocating on behalf of students, parents, and schools
  • Promoting charter school successes in the halls of government at the county and city levels
  • Leading mediation efforts at the district level

Public, Media, and Community Relations

  • Quickly responding to negative news stories by providing accurate information to reporters and editors
  • Proactively submitting accurate and positive information, as well as letters to the editor and opinion pieces to statewide media
  • Assisting member schools with crisis management and media relations issues
  • Conducting surveys to measure public support for choice and public charter schools
  • Hosting and publicizing “A+” ceremonies throughout Florida, to recognize top-performing schools and their leaders

School Administration Support

  • Offering a cutting-edge, digital Teacher/Principal Evaluation Tool
  • Providing access to high quality, cost-saving products and services through our online Marketplace
  • Hosting School Improvement Rating (SIR) workshops with key district personnel and charter school leaders, to enhance and adjust Florida’s Alternative Schools evaluation system
  • Assisting struggling schools by providing guidance to governing board members and school leaders
  • Hosting regional outreach events to meet with school leaders and gather feedback

As the number of Florida charter schools increases (in alignment with the number of students attending them), the FCSA is well-poised to provide the vision, leadership, and direction required to maintain this robust growth.
