Our team had an incredible week at the Florida Charter School + School Choice Summit. A special congratulations to Shereen Reid from Somerset Preparatory Academy Charter High At North Lauderdal who was named Florida's 1st Charter School Teacher of Year! ?? We connected with many passionate school leaders including our friends Dr. Catherine Rodríguez and Anabely Baretty-McIlvain from Dreamers Academy and dedicated support organizations, like Lynn Norman-Teck from the FLORIDA CHARTER SCHOOL ALLIANCE, too. The energy and commitment to empowering students was truly inspiring!

Join us for the next episode of?Charter Chat?with National Charter Schools Institute's host?Bob Bellafiore, where we explore using school facilities in a more expansive way with our partner Geri Chaffee, Founder of Dreamers Academy, in Sarasota, Florida. Creating community-centered facilities helps provide not only powerful academic spaces for your students but also environments for community growth and support. When education spaces are designed to support and interact with the community at large, families thrive. Spaces that support ongoing education, health services, and access to meal and hygiene resources can foster connections, improve health, attendance, and academic?outcomes, ultimately improving equity in your community.
