How do charter schools provide transportation?
Charter schools are entitled to their proportionate share of transportation funds for eligible students. The charter school and the school district are required to cooperate in making arrangements so that transportation is not a barrier to equal access for all students residing within a reasonable distance of the charter school. Transportation of charter school students must be consistent with the district school board requirements for transportation of all public K-12 students. • How are charter school facilities funded? Capital outlay funding is allocated to each eligible charter school by multiplying the charter schools projected student enrollment by one-fifteenth of the cost-per-student station for an elementary, middle, or high school. • What are the eligibility criteria for charter schools to receive capital outlay? As required in s.1013.62(1),F.S., to be eligible to receive charter school capital outlay funding, a charter school must: • Have been in operation for 3 or more year
