The Charlotte County School Board finalized the district’s legislative priorities during a Tuesday workshop session. It will ask the state for $30 million to build a new Port Charlotte Middle School and $5.5 million to build classrooms and training facilities for Charlotte Technical College’s aviation programs.
The final hurdles have been cleared, and a new building and hangar for Charlotte Technical College’s Aviation program at Punta Gorda Airport will be completed in spring 2025, said Amanda Fox, aviation maintenance specialist for the school.
