Sarasota School of Arts & Sciences
Parental Involvement Representative
The Florida
Legislature passed a new law, SB
1546 (7)(d)1, which states:
(d)1. Each
charter school’s governing board must appoint a representative to
facilitate parental involvement, provide access to information,
assist parents and others with questions and concerns, and resolve
disputes. The representative must reside in the school district in
which the charter school is located and may be a governing board
member, charter school employee, or individual contracted to
represent the governing board. If the governing board oversees
multiple charter schools in the same school district, the governing
board must appoint a separate individual representative for each
charter school in the district. The representative’s contact
information must be provided annually in writing to parents and
posted prominently on the charter school’s website if a website is
maintained by the school. The sponsor may not require that governing
board members reside in the school district in which the charter
school is located if the charter school complies with this
paragraph.
Sarasota School of
Arts & Sciences representative will be Jamie Bailey.
