It is not known exactly what DeSantis will discuss.

DeSantis has been a supporter of charter schools in Florida, which are public schools that receive public money but are run by an outside group.

Duval Charter School in Baymedows is operated by Renaissance Charter School, Inc. and is a member of the Charter Schools USA family of schools.

Charters are supposed to be issued by local school districts, which also have the power to revoke charters if necessary.

Last year, the Florida Legislature created a “Charter School Review Board” that could give the green light to charter schools without school district approval. However, the legislature did not provide funding for the commission.
