About the Collaborative:
The Florida Charter School Alliance established the District/Charter Collaborative to unite visionary leaders from both district-run public schools and charter schools, fostering meaningful dialogue on relevant and transformative issues. Supported by a grant from the Florida Department of Education, the Collaborative has cultivated a dynamic network of public education leaders who exchange insights on challenges, innovative solutions, and best practices.
