March 2024—The Florida Charter School Alliance created the District/Charter Collaboration with an FLDOE grant. The Collaborative brings together district-managed and public charter school trailblazers to foster a dialog on relevant and transformative topics. Since its launch in 2022, the Collaborative has created an alliance of school leaders in public education to share their best practices.
Hosted by Dr. Tony Arza, the FCSA’s District/Charter Collaborative discussions are streamed live. A recording of the discussions will be posted below, if available.

About FCSA – The voice of the charter school movement, the Florida Charter School Alliance (FCSA), is a statewide non-profit, member-driven association representing charter schools and the more than 390,000 students they serve.
The FCSA advocates for, supports, defends, and collaborates with public charter schools to influence legislative policy and environments. It also supports our members as they develop, maintain, and grow high-quality public charter schools. FCSA members run the gamut of choice educational programs – from urban to rural campuses, programs specializing in exceptional students or drop-off prevention to unique classical curriculum, and college-prep programs in high-need areas. Yet all our member schools have a common thread – a steadfast commitment to raising the bar on public education and providing a quality education option to the children and communities they serve.
