The Carl Sagan Academy has now closed

With deep regret and disappointment, the Humanists of Florida Association (HFA) board announces the closing of Carl Sagan Academy. HFA founded the first Humanist-sponsored charter school in 2005. It then appointed a founding board, which created a separate 501(c) 3 organization that separated from HFA. 

A majority of the CSA board voted on July 13 at a specially-called public meeting not to appeal the School District of Hillsborough County superintendent's recommendation to close it.

For more information, please visit HFA's Web site at www.FloridaHumanist.org and read HFA president Jerry Lieberman's commentary about this matter in the Fall 2009 newsletter.

Once on the HFA Web site, you can read about HFA's other educational initiatives such as the Evolution Institute. You may also visit the Evolution Institute's Web site at http://theevolutioninstitute.org.
