In Florida they're making it so that public money is allocated to schools per child, strangling public schools. Even more insidiously, what's happening is that a child starts the school year at a charter school who gets the money and then if that child, for whatever reason (kicked out of the charter school, parents don't find it to be a good fit, school is a scam, etc...) ends up back in a public school, the charter school keeps that money and allocations aren't redone until the next school year. So not only are public schools being strangled of funds, they're schooling children they never received funds for.

And that's not even getting into the massive overcrowding that's happening because public schools aren't being built anywhere near fast enough to keep up with the endless development still happening in areas of Florida. Plus, many of these apartment/housing developments are opening mid school year, flooding the public school with new students, that again, aren't having funds allocated for them.
