FCSA Membership information
The Florida Charter School Alliance has been a driving force behind major legislative victories that have advanced equity and opportunity for all public charter school students. Through relentless advocacy, we’ve secured shared access to tax dollars, fair and equitable student funding, and increased capital outlay support — all without compromising charter school autonomy or accountability.
As a member-funded, non-profit organization, all our legislative priorities (and wins) are driven by our member charter schools.
What we do for member schools:
✔Advocate
- The only charter school association focused on charter schools’ legislative policy and environments in the state of Florida
- Represent the charter school movement in Tallahassee to educate lawmakers and work to ensure funding and autonomy are protected without compromising accountability
- Promote charter school successes at the federal, state, county, and city levels
- Lead charter school/district mediation and funding dispute resolution efforts
- Provide advocacy training workshops for school leaders, educators, and parents
✔Protect & Promote
- Provide tailored crisis communications and media relations guidance to members
- Celebrate educator excellence by hosting the Charter School Teacher of the Year program
- Share the charter school movement’s successes statewide (movement grade link)
- Respond swiftly to misinformation with accurate, fact-based reporting
