Florida's Board of Education unanimously agreed Wednesday to require charter school applicants to disclose prior successes and failures running such schools.
Under the revisions, the applicants, governing board members and/or the management company would have to list all the charter schools they've been involved with — including those that shut down. Applicants will have to reveal how the schools performed academically and financially for the last five years.
Although the proposal originally called for three years of financial and performance history, board member Michael Olenick pushed for five years.
