Public Content Florida Statues § 1002.331 authorizes a high-performing charter school to increase its student enrollment once per school year. The Collegiate High School at Northwest Florida State College has maintained its status as a high-performing charter school since 2013, and, as such, the CHS Governing Board has the authority to increase the yearly enrollment capacity for each academic year. For Academic Year 2024 -2025 CHS requests approval to increase capacity by up to 50 students for a total of 485 students in CHS. For context, CHS has grown in stages: In Academic Year 2022 – 2023, fulfilling the Expanding Early College and Career and Technical Education Grant through the Florida Department of Education, CHS added 50 seats to its prior 285 seat capacity to offer 9th grade at CHS specifically in an Associate in Science (A.S.) Track, bringing total enrollment to 335 students. In Academic Year 2023 -2024, the Collegiate High School Expanded its enrollment capacity by 100 students, bringing total enrollment to 435 students with a few adjustments: (1) expanded 9th grade by another 50 seats to include as Associate in Arts (A.A.) track, and (2) added 50 seats to 10th grade to allow for the promotion of the first 9th grade class. For Academic Year 2024 – 2025, CHS proposes adding up to 50 seats. These seats will permit the original 50 9th grade students to continue progressing from 10th to 11th grade. This will bring the total maximum enrollment of CHS to 485 students. There is sufficient space in the CHS building to accommodate this expansion, and CHS has appropriate staff to support the expansion.
