Florida Charter Institute

What We Offer

Resources & Templates

From checklists for new schools to sample policy manuals, employment contracts and forms for parents, the FCI-Support library contains invaluable resources to help you run your school. Topics for operations professionals include campus safety, student health, family engagement, nutrition program compliance, marketing, technology and cybersecurity — and much more.

Webinars

Aired live weekly, and archived for viewing anytime, the webinar series brings expertise from all over the country to bear on common challenges for charter school operators.

Consultations

Have an operations issue that would benefit from an outside perspective, or would you simply like feedback on how you might move your school to the next level? FCI-Support consultants are available to meet with school leaders and boards to work through your school’s particular challenges or to help you advance your mission in new ways.

Document Reviews

For schools in their first charter contract, we review operating documents at no cost to schools to provide feedback or suggestions. Whether you are developing an employee handbook, a parent guide, employment documents or forms for your staff, we’re here to help.

Budget Templates

Many schools and districts have long utilized the Budget Template tool available. We will continue to support and expand upon the existing tool. In addition, we will be creating additional templates and tools to help existing schools with developing future budgets, and to assist schools during their launch year with projecting actual expenses and budgets through the school opening. Watch for more later in the year.

Charters.Link

For Florida charter schools and authorizers, this online monitoring tool helps ensure compliance with all of the documents and deliverables that schools are required to provide to their authorizing district throughout the year.
