Pasco County Board Chairwoman Kathryn Starkey wants the board to take a more direct role in public chartering. Last week, she said that the board should consider starting its own public charter school, possibly one that focuses on students who are dropout risks. Starkey said a public charter school would give the district flexibility it does not have with traditional public schools. She explained that public charter schools are supposed to provide innovative programs that other schools do not offer, and in exchange they are not tied down to all the rules and regulations traditional public schools face. Chartering "has some advantages," over traditional district schools, she said.
