This is my second posting because the first one seems to be dropped.

There is already a Charter High School on the Island: The Christian Academy. They have about 6 pupils per teacher, hardly crowded. Do we really need another High School for those kids that cannot wake up before 9:00 AM? Get them off the internet early at night.

How do you perform an open flame physics experiment in a FEMA trailer and call it world class education? We will have to beef up everything from Fire department to Police force. I can smell more fire hydrant studies by NBC and more reserves on your next tax bill.

Think also more of plush administrator jobs for our city council members and Jane Watt. Nonprofit status, hence tax free income and benefits from donations, a bit of occupational therapy in paradise and lots of political visibility, maybe even an appearance with Jacque Cousteau’s grandson on CNN. I am sure you remember the need for a water plant, electric plant and more city lights than Paris on Collier Boulevard.

The Winterberry Christian Academy is not a Charter High School. It is a private Christian school serving grades 6-12 with a small number of students. It is not free. You pay to attend. Much different than a public school. Their curriculum is web-based. Completely different from the Marco Island Academy.
