FL S1704

Charter schools must receive funding from the school district's operating discretionary millage levy, and district school boards are prohibited from delaying these payments based on timing of local fund receipts

Any facility or portion used to house a charter school with an approved charter is exempt from building permit fees, impact fees, service availability fees, and special benefit assessments

Capital outlay funding calculations exclude charter school students from the district's total count, and conversion charter schools may now use capital outlay funds for facility maintenance under mutual management plans with sponsors

Charter school systems may qualify as local educational agencies for federal funding purposes if they have enrollment exceeding at least one Florida school district and maintain the same governing board across all schools

Landlords who are nonprofit tax-exempt entities supporting the charter school, or LLCs solely owned by the charter school, may now have representatives serve on the school's governing board
