The Palm Beach School Board terminated the contracts for two charter schools run by Survivors. The school board cited a provision of Florida's charter schools law that allows charter contracts to be terminated immediately when the security of public money or the safety of students is at risk. Survivors appealed to the state Board of Education, which approved the contract termination. Survivors then appealed to the Fourth District Court of Appeal, which held that the school board had to also comply with the requirements of Florida's Administrative Procedures Act in order to terminate the contract.
