I'm sure that this will ultimately be the rule for elementary and middle school as well.

The Charter school enrollment criteria is based upon the parents/guardians place of employment not physical living location.
Employment is verified MONTHLY. There are 4 classses of employment by priority
Category I - Direct employee of any business identified as a Villages Company.
Category II - Employee of Business Partners under direct contract with a Villages Company. Sub-Contractors who do not have a direct contract with The Villages do not qualify.
Category III - Employee of Business Partners who lease directly from a Villages Company or who own a permanent business site, from which they operate their business within The Villages.
Category IV - Includes Business Partners who sub-lease a permanent business site within The Villages
Already enrolled students are classified as Continous or annual students and this is based upon wether a parent is full time or part time AND which category of employment he/she has. Parents with FULL TIME jobs definitely have an advantage especially in Cats 1,2,and 3.
All students with Employee/Parents assigned Category 1 Full-Time and Part-Time, Category 2 and Category 3 Full-time will be denoted as
Continuous Enrollment will be automatically re-enrolled.
All students with Employee/Parents assigned Category 2 and 3 Part-Time or Category 4 Full-time and Part-Time will be denoted as
Annual Enrollment and will annually submit enrollment applications as needed based upon enrollment capacity projections
Students identified as continous will be automatically re-enrolled the following year...while others have to wait and see if a spot is open for their particular class.
Its easy to say dont enroll your kids/grandkids in the TV Charter school ... enrollment is defininitely geared to support TV and its businesses. But if you have not visited or volunteered at the Charter school, you should do so. The faciltiies are top notch and the requiremetns they place on students/ parents for entry and retention provide utmost control. It is by far one of the best school in Central Florida if not considered the best byb some!
