Miami-Dade board votes to close financially struggling charter school

From The Miami Herald: The Miami-Dade County School Board has voted to close a financially struggling charter school that also was accused of holding raunchy late-night parties in its cafeteria. The Balere Language Academy in the South Miami Heights area faces a foreclosure lawsuit and has more than $229,000 in outstanding debts. The board also decided not to renew a contract with another charter school, Lawrence Academy Elementary in Florida City. The school has received consecutive F-grades from the state.
