Pasco County (Fla.) board approves plan for charter despite lack of information

From The St. Petersburg Times: A proposed charter school in Pasco County, Fla., does not have a firm location, a local governing board or a transportation plan for its future students. Nor has it obtained nonprofit status. Nevertheless, the Pasco County School Board approved the application by Charter Schools USA and Bay Area Charter Foundation because it met the mandatory criteria under Florida's charter school law.
