If you can't get your kids into the charter schools, check the school surrounding TV. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at some of their ratings. No question TV charter schools are good, but surrounding schools are much better than many of us would have thought.

Also, be aware that the TV high school is now accepting only students whose parents work directly for The Villages or in the squares -- used to be that employees of the restaurants like The Olive Garden and banks had their kids enrolled in TV. Sadly, the high school has become overcrowded and TV felt the best solution was to limit enrollment even more. Something tells me that this policy will ultimately trickle down as TV itself grows.

As to sub-leasing space, I wish you luck. I'm not sure that just having space in TV would be sufficient -- you probably would have to somehow qualify your business with TV and I doubt they'd consider someone subletting space as being a viable business for charter school admission.
