She said now Orange County will account for <br /> those charter school students separately, going forward. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said the goal is to recognize these charter students and she is <br /> recommending only funding half of the students this year and in two years funding all of them. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin clarified that the funds currently go to the schools and are <br /> passed onto the Charter Schools. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said the funding goes with the student. <br />
