Do you have some reason to believe the Villages Charter Schools do not accept those children when they otherwise qualify? I *thought* I saw budget lines for that kind of accommodation but it has been a while since I looked.

Those students will not be evenly divided between all schools unless they are evenly divided between the groups who qualify for the Charter Schools and those who do not. If the Charter Schools are discriminating against those students then that is wrong. If there are simply fewer of those children in the eligible population then that's just the way things are.
