Overview

• The State Board of Education adopted regulations implementing this year’s law that allow 'schools of hope' to operate inside underused public school facilities, including on high-performing campuses.
• Districts must furnish custodial, maintenance, security, food service, nursing and transportation at no cost to participating charters, with common areas shared based on enrollment.
• At a Miami announcement, Gov. Ron DeSantis joined Success Academy CEO Eva Moskowitz and donor Ken Griffin, who pledged $50 million, as the network outlined first Miami-Dade schools targeted for the 2027–28 school year.
• Success Academy plans three to five Miami campuses with thousands of students in the first years, according to local reporting, after lobbying with Griffin for the law that broadened where charters can operate.
• Critics, including Miami advocacy group P.S. 305, warned of funding and enrollment losses for neighborhood schools, while DeSantis and state officials said competition will raise performance.
