This is taken from the 2012 Florida statutes. I am copying only the areas that pertain to The Villages Charter Schools. I've included the links in case you want to go read it in its entirety.


Taken from: 1002.33 - Charter schools. - 2012 Florida Statutes - The Florida Senate

1002.33 Charter schools.—
(1) AUTHORIZATION.—Charter schools shall be part of the state’s program of public education. All charter schools in Florida are public schools.

(10) ELIGIBLE STUDENTS
(d) A charter school may give enrollment preference to the following student populations:
4. Students who are the children of:
a. An employee of the business partner of a charter school-in-the-workplace established under paragraph (15)(b)

(FYI: FloridaChild | Workplace Schools The Florida legislature created a special class of charter schools called Charter Schools-in-the-Workplace. As the name suggests, those charter schools are housed at a company workplace and can give priority to the children of employees of the company. At present there are two such charter schools: JFK Medical Center Charter School in Palm Beach and The Villages Charter School in the Villages, Florida. The Villages operates four such schools for its employees: an Early Childhood Center, Elementary, Middle and High School.).
