Angela Schminke told the 'Ask Anthony' team her school is fully funded by a state program called Step Up for Students. She hasn't received a check since April.
ORANGE PARK, Fla. — The owner of a private Christian academy in Orange Park contacted theteam for help, because she's on the verge of losing her school. The state funding she needs to pay rent, pay her employees, and buy books for her students has been delayed.
Schminke told the"Ask Anthony" team her school is fully funded by a program called Step Up for Students, which is based in Jacksonville. It's a state approved non-profit scholarship funding organization that was created to give money to lower to middle income students. "What I'm hearing from my constituents is that they are fearful that they are now going to be on the hook for tuition payments that they cannot afford to pay," Rep. Angie Nixon responded.
Nixon fears the program has mismanaged funds or run out completely. She's calling on parents and school leaders to voice their concerns. The remaining FES-UA students should have funds in their accounts this week. Schools can then invoice Step Up and Step Up can make the payments by the end of the following week for those invoiced this week.
