What the heck does the country club have to do with this? My parents didn't belong to a country club. You seem to make the assumption that people who support the Charter School somehow are elitists. Where does the developer enter into the discussion? Does he run the school? Does he get to approve the enrollment/disenrollment of students? Or did he just work to establish a Charter School in the Workplace to attract and retain talented people for his workforce and for those who establish businesses within TV.
Whether the student has to leave the school because they no longer meet the enrollment criteria or because their parents move, the kid has to make the same adjustments. They have to assimilate into the new school environment, make new friends, join new clubs or teams. Is it easy? Nope. Does it destroy their future? Nope. It's part of life. Nothing is guaranteed. I am not unsympathetic to the student who had to transfer, but you make it sound like he/she is doomed to wear a scarlet "L" for the rest of their life.
The school has to abide by the rules established when it was set up with the Florida Department of Education.
