Approved by the Florida Department of Education to be higher education institution authorizer, Pasco Hernando State College (“PHSC”)  releases this, the college’s first, request for proposals to operate a charter school authorized by the PHSC Board of Trustees.   

PHSC embraces the three core principles of authorizing outlined in Florida’s Principles and Standards for Quality Charter School Authorizing.  As such, in its authorizing duties, PHSC will: 

  1. Maintain High Standards
  2. Uphold School Autonomy
  3. Protect Student and Public Interests

Request For Proposals Now Available
