Private school converts to charter campus in Hillsborough County, Fla.

From The St. Petersburg Times: A little more than a year after closing its doors, a former private school in Carrollwood, Fla., will reopen this summer as a charter school. The Hillsborough County School Board has given final approval for the A.T. Jones Math, Science and Technology Academy. In February 2009, the Bible-Based Fellowship Christian Academy closed amid dwindling enrollment and financial trouble. In the year since, school officials revamped the curriculum, removed religious components and applied for a state charter.
