Charlotte School Board fears cost of Amendment 8
At Tuesday’s Charlotte County School Board meeting, members unanimously approved a resolution from the Florida School Board Association opposing Amendment 8, officially titled “Religious Freedom.”
District officials warn the title is misleading, and passing the amendment, which is on the ballot for the Nov. 6 general election, could impede the current school system by draining billions from public schools and directing state tax dollars to private schools through the expansion of the state’s school voucher program.
