TALLAHASSEE — Charter schools will receive $91 million for their construction and maintenance needs, state lawmakers agreed late Sunday.

The figure represents a $36 million increase over last year's allocation. But it falls just short of the $100 million proposed by Gov. Rick Scott and the Florida House.

The deal was struck during budget negotiations that lasted late into the night. It is almost certain to pass the two chambers and win approval by the governor. Related News/Archive
