Jurors awarded 21 of the 30 plaintiffs a total of $212,000, a different amount for each person who deliberately was denied help U.S. law requires schools to provide when accepting federal funds, as the charter school does. The jury wisely didn’t buy the poor-mouth whining that The Villages couldn’t afford it. That’s pretty much a joke in a place where the owners are fabulously wealthy."
Didn't see anything about this in the Daily Sun....go figure.

The Charter School may, in point of fact, accept federal funds however the Life Long Learning College did NOT! And that was the rub.
