TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Tallahassee Classical School is asking for the community's help in raising money to open a charter school in Leon County.
Saturday they hosted a family event to raise money for legal fees in their fight to open the school.
The Leon County School Board denied their request in April.
Tallahassee Classical School responded by appealing it to the Florida Department of Education this week.
"Our goal is two-fold. We want to engage with the community and answer questions and we're fundraising. So we are raising money to help up combat the cost of the appeal," said Jana Sayler, Tallahassee Classical School Board Chair.
Leaders of the proposed classical school say they're pushing to open up because they want to offer different and more unique opportunities for local students.
