The Florida Education Association is filing suit to get Amendment Eight kicked of the November Ballot. The proposed constitutional amendment freezes class sizes where they are now, not implementing the final and most restrictive phase. FEA attorney Ron Meyer says the ballot language the legislature drafted for the amendment is misleading, because the real issue at play isn’t class sizes, but funding.

“I think that they are using this language really in a less than direct way to try and hide the fact that they are taking money out of the public schools to use for class sizes,” said Meyer.

The legislature put amendment eight on the ballot, saying the cost of implementing the last phase is too expensive and would require some crafty maneuvering by school administrators. FEA countered… saying fund schools better.
