The Hialeah City Council has approved an expansion plan that will give even more public land to a charter school that has gradually overtaken a once-vibrant city park.
The approval of the expansion limits residents' access to the park, even though they will continue to pay taxes on the land, raising concerns about the long-term impact on public spaces.
Since 2008, the City of Hialeah Educational Academy has expanded its footprint on public property, transforming parts of Slade Park into classrooms and changing its community character.
The original agreement, made in 2008, allowed the charter school to build on a portion of Slade Park and has led to significant growth of the educational complex.
