DeSantis signs bill expanding state voucher program

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 13:02:10 GMT

Governor Ron DeSantis made another bold move in the realm of education Monday, signing a controversial bill that expands the state’s voucher program. The Universal School Choice Legislation, as it’s called, will make state funds available to all students in Florida who wish to attend a private school, regardless of their income or ability.DeSantis signed the bill at Christopher Columbus High School in Miami during a news conference where he defended his decision. “The fact of the matter is our school districts perform better because they’ve embraced choice,” he said. “Our charter schools perform better because they have to compete for individual students. They’re not entitled to get anybody as a charter school and of course having private schools that can service the needs of parents so that a parent will take that scholarship and say, ‘You know what, I want to go to this particular school because of what they’re offering.’...
