Opinion

No. 1D08-0172.

December 2, 2008.

An appeal from an order of the Department of Education.

Ronald G. Meyer, Jennifer Blohm, and Janeia R. Daniels of Meyer and Brooks, P.A., Tallahassee; and Theodore R. Doran and Audrie M. Harris of Doran, Wolfe, Ansay Kundid, Daytona Beach, for Appellant.

Deborah K. Kearney, General Counsel, Florida Department of Education, Tallahassee; and Bill McCollum, Attorney General, and Timothy Osterhaus, Deputy Solicitor General, Office of the Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

The School Board of Volusia County challenges the constitutionality of section 1002.335, Florida Statutes (2006), alleging it violates article IX of the Florida Constitution. We hold section 1002.335 is facially unconstitutional. See Duval County Sch. Bd. v. State Bd. of Educ., 1D07-6041, 998 So.2d 641, 2008 WL 5055659 (Fla. 1st DCA Dec. 2, 2008).
