Ms. Kruft believes the exclusion was an oversight in the legislation and is hopeful something will be done to correct it.
"I really don't believe most of our legislators would exclude some of our public school students," she said."It was just in the wording of the law.But unless legislators take a step to change it, the reality will be that charter school students will never see a cent of that money."
The Tiller School just completed construction of a $360,000 classroom building on its Beaufort campus, which serves grades K-5.It was paid for through a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) loan.Ms. Kruft said she would use lottery proceeds to help pay off the loan.
