Horizon Conversion Unconstitutional as per Florida State Law

The Horizons Apartments conversion to low-income public housing is unconstitutional as it would compromise the safety of Tanglewood School; the right of which -- to a safe and secure education -- its children are to be provided, by law, as per the Florida State Constitution.

The danger posed by the conversion manifests itself by way of Horizons Apartment's very close proximity to the school, coupled with the record of violent crime established and exhibited by all such housing as owned and operated by the HACFM.

SECTION 1. Public education.— 

(a) The education of children is a fundamental value of the people of the State of Florida. It is, therefore, a paramount duty of the state to make adequate provision for the education of all children residing within its borders. Adequate provision shall be made by law for a uniform, efficient, safe, secure, and high quality system of free public schools that allows students to obtain a high quality education and for the establishment, maintenance, and operation of institutions of higher learning and other public education programs that the needs of the people may require.
