It is important to realize money used to fund the Charter school is siphoned from counties leaving them less money to educate children who reside in their area. So children who are vulnerable and need services either due to illness or ongoing disability are left in public schools with less funds to care for them. It would be great if The Villages decided not to drain the neighboring counties' funds and be self supporting but they are not. The Villages Charter is receiving funds through Public Charter School Program Grant (CSP) Planning, Program Design and Implementation (2022-
2025) and Title IV, Part C of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as
amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA) (20 U.S.C. 7221-7221j). It is public information.

This message brought to you by the National Education Association. Their only solution is more money for lower results. Yes, put the money in the parents hands to choose where their children will attend school and watch how quickly the education system improves without Union politics involved.
