What are the differences between the charter lab school, other state laboratory schools, and a regular charter school?
Only four state universities are authorized to operate lab or charter lab schools by Florida Statutes; Florida Atlantic University, Florida A&M University, Florida State University and University of Florida. The FAU/SLCSB Charter Lab School is one of only three charter lab schools in Florida, and the first to be started completely new; not transitioned from another type of lab school or other school. Similar to the other two charter lab schools and the three regular lab schools in Florida, the FAU/SLSCB lab school will enjoy a programmatic partnership with Florida Atlantic University. As a charter school, the school will be governed by a not-for-profit Board made up of local community, school district and university leaders through a contract (charter) with FAU. Through partnership contact with the St. Lucie County School District, the daily operations of the FAU/SLCSB Lab School will be managed by the St. Lucie County School District.
