Once-lauded Miami charter could close
Liberty City Charter School in Miami, one of Florida's first charter schools and a bellwether for hundreds of others that followed, could soon be closing its doors. The Miami-Dade School Board will consider next week whether to pull the plug on the once-touted elementary school. The school has been in a state of financial emergency for two years, a problem that Principal and CEO Katrina Wilson-Davis blamed on a legal battle that the school lost to a previous landlord.
