Protesters Voice Opposition to Proposed Charter School in South Miami

The protest continues in South Miami as some Miami-Dade neighbors are banding together to stop a charter school from coming to town.

A group of protestors are against the development of a 2,500 student K-12 charter school.

The proposed location's causing quite the stir as heavy traffic congestion is already an issue on Sunset Drive from 87th Avenue to 72nd Avenue.

"There is no need for another school in an area gridlocked it's difficult during rush hour from South Miami Hospital to Baptist Hospital,” said protestor Mary Faraldo.

Protestors say they're not protesting against schools, but arguing there's no need for another one since they believe local public schools in the area are underfunded.
