Charter school expansion arrives in Miami

(The Center Square) – Privately run schools getting taxpayer money are coming to Miami through an 11th hour state budget law.

Success Academy, backed by $50 million from Ken Griffin of the Citadel Enterprise Americas investment firm, is expanding in what Gov. Ron DeSantis calls “just the beginning.” Griffin is a billionaire hedge fund owner. The “schools of hope” qualify for state funding and are able to be within traditional public schools.
