School board increases leasing costs to rent space from district April 30, 2021 at 7:26 AM EDT - Updated April 30 at 7:26 AM Imagine raising someone's rent amid the biggest public health crisis in a century. That's exactly what the School District of Palm Beach County did to groups who rent space inside publicly funded schools. Last June, in the middle of the worst health crisis in a century, the school board voted to raise prices on renting space from the district. The changes impacted Scott Yebba, the owner of Contact 5 asked him what the school district wants to charge him now. "I had the bookkeeper (run) the lease, and it would be $14,600 a week," he said.
