Many of those who were ran off, including the founder, are now successfully operating a state-funded K-12 program in Arizona – even though most actually still reside in Florida. Millions of dollars of intellectual capital paid for by Florida taxpayers has been exported to Arizona with a huge mess left in its place as far as what was once one of Florida’s shining stars. Perhaps once a new Governor is elected this November, he will wipe the slate clean and start from scratch. That is probably the only hope for the survival of this once novel and proud program that serves hundreds of thousands of children in the State of Florida and beyond.
