Two weeks ago New Times reported on the controversy surrounding Rise Academy, a Florida City charter school shut down after only two years in existence despite a dramatic “F” to “A” turnaround.

Today’s Appeal Commission hearing will be held at 11 a.m. at Miami
Dade College North Campus, Room A-102, Science Building, 11380 Northwest
