The future middle and elementary school was in the middle of a multi-million dollar Florida studs remodel.
And it was already clear, Aisha.
Justin Blitz envisioned a pretty incredible school.
But the building's coolest feature is in the cafeteria.
But wait, there is literally a like a playground slide down here by the cafeteria that appears to go up to the second floor.
So I had to try it out.
Here we go.
Oh, that's pretty good.
That's a nice slide.
I went down.
I mean, if I were 10, I would want to go to this school.
And that's part of the point here, Aisha.
It's an easy sell, which is one more reason Justin Blitz, who used to work for Cedar Rapids Public Schools, told me he's actually been taking some heat from folks for going over to the competition.
Well, the district told me it lost about 230 kids to Blitz's new school.
And when a child leaves to go to a charter school, they take more than $8,000 of state and local funding with them.
So even though Prep is technically a public charter school, their gain is absolutely the district's loss.
Well, I spoke with a bunch of families when I was there, including Oscar and Adam Quezvera, who took three of their children out of their local public school and enrolled them at Cedar Rapids Prep.
Adam told me that he and Oscar fully support public education.
And politically, they're kind of uncomfortable with Governor Kim Reynolds' embrace of school choice.
But Oscar Quezvera told me something happened at their daughter Erika's traditional public school.
