1. Somerset Academy St. Lucie
SCPATC: Charter high school projected to open in August of 2012 in PSL. On August first, I submitted an application for the Charter school to the School District of Saint Lucie County. On September 28, we were denied on the basis of not meeting about 15 of the 20 standards on the application. Disagreeing with that assertion, we appealed the District’s decision to the Charter School Appeals Commission. There, on January 11, we won every single point but one. However, the state statute states that to prevail, the District only needs to prevail on one point, whereas the applicant needs to prevail on all. So the SCPATC had no choice but to uphold that denial. They strongly encouraged the district to work with us, however, that wasn’t possible for the district, per district policies. As opposed to waiting another year to resubmit our application, we decided to take it to the next level: The State Board of Education. On February 16th we won the unanimous vote of the SBE to overturn the districts denial, and approve our charter.
