This article examines Florida’s newly enacted Schools of Hope law, which allows certain high-performing charter schools to locate in underused district facilities, and the intense backlash it has sparked across the state. While acknowledging the law’s flaws and the concerns raised by districts, the piece argues that charter–district colocation is a proven strategy for improving student outcomes and reducing wasteful facilities spending. Drawing on national examples and Florida-specific data, the author urges education leaders to move past political conflict and pursue locally driven, collaborative approaches that make better use of public school buildings and expand high-quality options for students.
