The Florida Supreme Court refused to hear a case that challenged the constitutionality of a law that gives power to the State Board of Education in the approval of charter schools.

The justices turned down an appeal by the Palm Beach County School Board, which argued the law violates part of the state Constitution that gives local school boards the authority to “operate, control and supervise” public schools in their districts. As is common, the Supreme Court issued a one-page order that did not explain its reasons for declining to hear the case.
