Ron DeSantis as one of several affluent Florida communities where new “Schools of Hope” charter campuses are unlikely to open, despite a flood of applications statewide. He insists the program will stay focused on struggling areas like parts of Miami and Orlando, while critics warn the law still allows charters to seek space on high-performing public school campuses.
