The funding per student is the same for all schools. Most failing schools are Title 1 schools which mean they actually get extra money from the Federal government. The parents who want vouchers and charter schools are the parents from the failing schools. So give them the money and let them decide. Why should the wealthy be the only ones with school choice.

@Fed Up……… The failing Schools are Failing because they get LESS Money than the Non-Failing Schools, which just compounds the problems for those Schools.

The money SHOULD follow the student and allow parents to send their child to the best school for them. Failing schools SHOULD go out of business, whether they are public or private. Let the marketplace decide.

The Tax Dollars being put into Charter Schools SHOULD be put into the Public Schools, especially the Failing Schools. If the problem is the Teachers, raise the Bar when it comes to hiring Teachers, if it is the School Board and Superintendent Vote in better People,

Perhaps the Leon County School Board attorney should create a lawsuit to sue themselves for attempting to quash illegally the Red Hills application.

An out-of-court settlement could be reached with the resignation of Mr. Hanna including any of the board members who went along with his ridiculousness… for starters.

@ Snidley… I think you’re on the right track. One could argue that Anti Trust Laws apply in this matter. Hanna and Co used underhanded (perhaps illegal) tactics to basically slap an injunction on Red Hills in an effort to quash competition. It’s akin to McDonalds corporate lawyers trying to prevent a Chic Fil’A from being built across the street.

More and more parents are recognizing the depravity, dangers, and failure of the Public Indoctrination System. We must demand Choice for our children.

Ya know I hate to tell people what to do…But:
It would be damn righteous if our Great Governor thru his State Attorney Ashley Moody would suspend their unwritten ” hands off local leftist Leon County Government policy” and step in here to make an example of Rocky for what he did to Red Hills.
You just gotta know theres something in State Statute/Admn. Code Ashley Moody could use to nail Rocky’s narrow hide to the wall.
Florida’s 67 local School Boards would probley start serving Florida’s kids a little more and back away from serving wack leftist agenda a little less if The Governor could see his way to make the common sense decision to make an example of Rocky to Florida’s other School Boards. We need a hero Governor theres never been a better time or place to step up Sir. If Ashley is too timid just call Pam Bondi Sir. Pam will have an off the record talk with Ashley which WILL motivate your State Attorney Sir.

Yes, Rocky tried to quash this, but one School Board member cried foul and brought back integrity and honesty. Dee Dee Rasmussen, kudos!

The process should be honest and Hanna needs to be held accountable for his dishonesty.

Rocky is not gonna like this. When Rocky slaps you down and cheats you out of consideration in the application process you are supposed to stay slapped down and cheated on.
Rocky is not accustomed to resistance in his world and like a fish out of water Rocky may not know how to react. Other than to attempt more slapping down and cheating.
Rocky is not happy.

It’s pretty easy to see what’s going on here. The school board is “protecting their property”…and that “property” is the money allocated to your childs right to the best education. Why would they add this application to be voted upon at the last minute without giving RHA a chance to make their case….or even a chance to be heard? It’s called quashing the competition. If you think the school boards first priority is your childs education, then you are probably the ones that keep voting these people in…at the expense of your own childrens chance for a great education!
