I'll search for the current requirements for Florida school choice vouchers to give you accurate information.
Let me get more specific information about the requirements for private schools to participate in the voucher program.
Let me get the full text of the statute to see all requirements.
Based on my research, here are the key requirements for a private school in Florida to qualify for state-approved school choice vouchers:
## Registration and Operational Requirements
Private schools must be registered with the state and have been operating for at least three years, or obtain a surety bond or letter of credit equal to the scholarship funds for any quarter [Florida Senate](https://www.flsenate.gov/laws/statutes/2024/1002.421) .
## Teacher Qualifications
Teachers must hold baccalaureate or higher degrees, have at least three years of teaching experience in public or private schools, or have special skills, knowledge, or expertise that qualifies them to provide instruction in subjects taught [Florida Senate](https://www.flsenate.gov/laws/statutes/2024/1002.421) .
## Background Screening Requirements
All employees and contracted personnel with direct student contact must undergo state and national background screening and meet screening standards [Florida Senate](https://www.flsenate.gov/laws/statutes/2024/1002.421) . School owners and operators must also undergo level 2 background screening [Florida Senate](https://www.flsenate.gov/laws/statutes/2024/1002.421) .
## Physical Location and Instruction
Schools must maintain a physical location in Florida where students have regular and direct contact with teachers [Florida Senate](https://www.flsenate.gov/laws/statutes/2024/1002.421) .
## Compliance Requirements
Schools must:
- Comply with federal antidiscrimination provisions [Florida Senate](https://www.flsenate.gov/laws/statutes/2024/1002.421)
- Meet applicable state and local health, safety, and welfare laws, including fire safety and building safety codes [Florida Senate](https://www.flsenate.gov/laws/statutes/2024/1002.421)
- Provide parents with written explanations of student progress at least quarterly [Florida Senate](https://www.flsenate.gov/laws/statutes/2024/1002.421)
- Publish information about the school's programs, services, and teacher qualifications on their website or in written format [Florida Senate](https://www.flsenate.gov/laws/statutes/2024/1002.421)
## Financial Accountability
Schools receiving more than $250,000 in scholarship funds must provide an annual report from an independent certified public accountant [Florida Senate](https://www.flsenate.gov/laws/statutes/2024/1002.421) .
## Additional Notes
Private schools in Florida are not required to be accredited [Florida Department of Education](https://www.fldoe.org/schools/school-choice/private-schools/general-requirements.stml) [Florida Policy](https://www.floridapolicy.org/posts/federal-voucher-system-would-divert-funding-to-private-schools-and-home-schoolers) , and they can choose from various annual assessment options rather than being required to administer the same standardized tests as public schools [Jacksonville Today](https://jaxtoday.org/2023/08/03/floridas-new-universal-education-vouchers-a-guide-for-parents/) . However, some schools choose not to participate because they must submit certain financial, attendance, and vaccine records to the state [Jacksonville Today](https://jaxtoday.org/2023/08/03/floridas-new-universal-education-vouchers-a-guide-for-parents/) .
