A new statewide poll commissioned by the Florida Charter School Alliance finds significant support for charter schools — including support for a statewide authorizer, one of the alliance’s top legislative priorities this year that school districts fear would take away local authority over public education.
The Herald/Times was given a copy of the poll results ahead of their official release, expected later this evening.
The alliance spent nearly $11,000 for National Victory Strategies to conduct the poll not knowing what the results would be, saidRalph Arza, a lobbyist for the alliance and a former Republican state lawmaker from Miami.
