RE:
CHARTER SCHOOLS PROJECTED/ACTUAL ENROLLMENTS
The ESE 022 report provides the Florida Department of Education with a current account of the
new and existing charter schools and charter-pending applicants in each school district. The
information contained in this report will be used to: (1) determine the number of charter schools
opening in school year 2005-2006; (2) determine the number of charter applicants and their
approval status; (3) determine the number of students by school type in order to more accurately
budget dollars for capital outlay spending; (4) calculate the capital outlay funding distribution for
eligible charters based on actual enrollment figures; and (5) disseminate Department of
Education information (i.e., grant applications, conference information, etc.) based on school
contact information.
In order for a charter school to be eligible for the capital outlay funding allocation, a charter
school must have received final approval from its sponsor pursuant to Section 1002.33, Florida
Statutes, for operation during that fiscal year and must serve students in facilities that are not
provided by the charter school's sponsor.

Data provided on the attached ESE 022 report allows the DOE to calculate and distribute capital
outlay funds to charter schools on a monthly basis pursuant to F. S.1013.62 (3) (e). Additionally,
for budget projection purposes, charter school information from districts is required as outlined
in the following statute references:
F. S. 1002.33(6)(b)(1)
•
?
In order to facilitate an accurate budget projection process, a district school board
shall be held harmless for FTE students who are not included in the FTE projection
due to approval of charter school applications after the FTE projections deadline. In a
further projection, within 15 calendar days after receipt of a charter school
application, a district school board or other sponsor shall report to the Department of
Education the name of the applicant entity, the proposed charter school location, and
its projected FTE.
F. S. 1002.33(b)(4)
•
?
For budget projection purposes, the district school board or other sponsor shall report
to the Department the approval or denial of a charter application within 10 calendar
days after such approval or denial.
In the event of approval, the report to the
Department must include the final projected FTE for the approved charter school.
We will need to have a completed report from each district even if your district has no current,
new or pending charter schools/applicants, simply write none across the form. This report is due
on
August 26, 2005
. You may request an electronic version of the attached ESE 022 report form
by sending an email to Karen Hines-Henry at Karen.Hines@fldoe.org.
If there are questions or if we can help in any manner, please call Karen Hines-Henry at
(850) 245-0502. Thank you for your cooperation.
