Baxter's Place, Making a difference

Since early 2023, Palm Breeze Youth Services has worked through the Alachua County Public School district’s application for a charter school, originally named the Reichert House Youth Academy School.  The School Board of Alachua County (SBAC) looked over the application on Nov. 8, 2023, in an informational workshop, and the next step would be approval by the board. 

Darry Lloyd serves as president of the Palm Breeze Youth Services Board and answered questions at a recent workshop. He said the charter school plans to start with 30 students before expanding, with a cap at 150 students.  He also said, “The name is changing because the mission is changing. The Reichert House programming was, in the last decade, designed to support schools. This new programming, the charter school, is designed to support the community.”
