Those who are warriors for charters&other forms of parent choice. This is not the time to cower&retreat. Heed Frederick Douglass words, For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake

During a week of gratitude for our teachers, this is a special day to recognize that high-quality education happens in a variety of classroom settings. We hope that w/ the addition of the Family Empowerment Scholarship Program, FL student success will continue on its path upward.
.@GovRonDeSantis made clear from the start he wanted to help end the school choice waiting list as part of his bold vision for a brighter future. The culmination of those efforts -- backed with bipartisan support in the Legislature -- shined brightly today.
Today, we celebrate hope & opportunities for more children throughout FL. The Family Empowerment Scholarship Program acknowledges that every student in Florida is unique, valued & should benefit from our publicly funded education system in a setting that is best for him or her.
