Charter Schools to Share Referendum Funding, Court Rules

Written by Abraham Galvan

This ruling reverses a lower court decision, which sided with the Miami-Dade School Board’s position that charter schools are ineligible to receive the funding from a referendum that voters passed in November 2018 to levy an additional 0.75 mills of property taxes for four years to improve pay for educators and to bolster school safety.
