The Villages Charter school is a public school and gets State and Local education funding just the same as every other school in Sumter County. However, the county does not own the charter school buildings or property so they pay to lease the buildings. At the same time, since the county doesn't own charter schools the county doesn't pay for maintenance of the charter schools.

Thank You !!!
