SIR. THE Villages Charter Schools were built and planned to be for the children of people who worked for The Villages. No new anything. No change. That is why they are here. They are workplace charter schools and good ones too. Many caring and conscientious parents find work here for that very reason. It is a win-win situation.

I believe there was a change in Charter School eligibility within the last year. Something along the lines that the business had to have a physical presence within The Villages. I figured they needed to cull the herd a bit. Their school, their rules.

Yes! And I thank you for letting others know the facts.

My info came from a conversation with the woman that cuts my hair. She has a couple of kids in the Charter School. Her husband works for a major contractor to The Villages. She, by the way, has nothing but great things to say about the Charter School. They apparently offer after school daycare to 6PM for a song. It appears that it is an excellent school and a real perk for those that do business with The Villages.

The recent changes to the Charter School policy have been discussed in previous forum threads. Many seems to believe that The Villages Charter schools and several other local schools are very good schools. I have nothing against any schools in Florida as long as Ohio schools beat them in sports.

And my point was to state that changes are being made to an existing policy that will now give businesses who are located within the dome more incentives and advantages.

So, what's the point, charter schools do this all the time.

We have moved far afield from the original post that was saying Parcar (or a Parcar dealer) sent an email to the OP about The Villages GolfFestival.

There are a number of sponsors including Villages Golf Cart and a beer company.


Here is the link that I posted before.


The Villages Golf Festival

The ParCar exclusion and the Charter School change could be attributed to �And my point was to state that changes are being made to an existing policy that will now give businesses that are located within the dome more incentives and advantages.� I am simply stating my observations to changes that are being made.

That is what my husband says too. It is true, maybe not politically acceptable but just common sense. So I says to the kids, go out and make some money and be in charge of things. Run your own railroad, work hard, stay after, check and double check and you will soon be the boss, THEN you get more money...and more stress, and people can look down on you and tell you that you are greedy.


But Don't do anything illegal or immoral, because I am still your mother and I will hunt you down and whatever the law or even public opinion could do to you would pale in comparison. .

So then to keep this to the original post topic then-- as far as ParCar being excluded from the event, is it just ParCar or all non Village business interests are excluded from the event?

It does seem ironic though, at least in this case the only golf cart manufactured and build in America--and it's being excluded--right here in The Villages!. I'm sorry, for that reason alone, I say I'd accept their sponsorship any day. Sorry!

Will I be able to park my ParCar at the event this weekend?

I am sure all the shennigans like this are legal, however if one had the time and the money I think a good attorney could make something out of conflicts of interest in and by TV.

I know they own the paper but it just seems not right to DISCRIMINATE people willing to pay the price of advertizing.
