10:45 PM,

Ron Meyer? Give me a break, you're acting like he's Barry Richards or something. Plus, did you happen to see what happend in the Hershey lawsuit -- the districts lost!

Dear 7:01 p.m.,

Please read the Constituion. If you do this, you won't need an attorney to know what it says about locally elected school boards must operate, supervise, and control all of the public schools within its geographic boundaries. Charter schools are public school by law. The FSE is not a locally elected school board. It cannot legally approve any charters in Florida.

I don't know who the current GC is at the DOE. But, I know that whomever it is has been soiling his/her pants thinking about taking on Ron Meyer on this case.

4:41, you are pretty funny (and obviously clueless). I bet you can't even name the GC without looking the information up. You really shouldn't embarass yourself (and the district you work for) like this....


Dear Florida DOE and State Board of Education,

Please hire a competent reading coach (there should be a bunch unemployed after the budget cuts) and a competent general counsel and then actually read the Constitution as it relates to this issue. At that point, you should side with the districts against the Unconstitutional Law that created the FSE in the first place. Thank you for your consideration of this request.
