Pasco district ponders tax revenue sharing with charter school

The big story: Florida law is clear that school districts must share revenue from their local-option property and sales taxes with charter schools in their counties. That’s a question Pasco-Hernando State College had for the Pasco County school district this week. The college this past spring sponsored a charter school run by Dayspring Academy, which superintendent John Legg helped establish more than 20 years ago, and inquired whether the charter could get a share of the revenue from the district’s property tax referendum that expires next year.

South Lake High Vs South Sumter Football Game Results (10/30)

The Eagles scored a major victory on senior night defeating South Sumter High school 24-20. It was a very physical game and the Eagles put together their best performance of the year dominating the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. The Raiders scored first after the Eagles did not convert on a 4th down from their own 40 yard line early in the second quarter. The defense for the Eagles after that score really picked it up flipping field position and getting the Eagle offense back on the field at the end of the second quarter. Sam Wood would explode off the left side for a 17 yard touchdown run behind some great blocking from Mark Elder, Landon Coning, Andrew Carter and Brian Bedingfield. The half would end tied 7-7.

Florida’s evolving public education system needs fact-based discussion | Column

I have tremendous respect for Pinellas County School Board member Laura Hine’s commitment to public service, her passion for serving our community’s children and her desire to improve Florida’s public education system. But her recent column, “Is unregulated capitalism the best way to educate Florida kids?,” frames the issue too starkly. Florida’s education system is changing rapidly, and the questions surrounding these changes are too nuanced and consequential to be reduced to a choice between traditional public education and “unregulated capitalism.”

LAKELAND — Lakeland’s goal for the regular season was to clinch a spot in the Open Division. The Dreadnaughts, holding onto the No. 8 spot entering the game, likely clinched a top-eight finish, and made a loud statement in the process. It was as close to a near-perfect game against an elite opponent that Lakeland could expect as the the Dreadnaughts finished year another game with a running clock. Lakeland’s defense dominated from the start and the Dreadnaughts moved the ball at will en route to a 35-0 victory over Orlando First Academy on Friday night at Bryant Stadium. “Lakeland’s here to stay,” senior defensive lineman Santana Harvey said. “We’re back. It was just another day at the office, and we have to keep working, keep playing and keep doing out job at pactice.” Lakeland won’t know officially if it made the Open Division until the playoff brackets are announced at 5 p.m. on Friday on the FHSAA’s YouTube channel. The performance was a fruition of what Lakeland was building toward all year, beginning with its season-opener against Venice. “We kind of schedule for moments like this,” Frazier said. When we played Venice, that was like a misery stick for
