school vouchers

Funds for private schools went from $326 million in 2020 to an estimated $1.3 billion for the 2022-2023 school year, according to the report.

Florida’s Board of Education has approved an emergency rule to allow private school vouchers if parents feel their children are being harassed by a school district’s COVID-19 safety policies, including requirements to wear masks.

As legal battles heat up, the Department of Education will consider expanding the "hope scholarship" to provide access to vouchers for families against mask mandates.

They include a requirement for out-of-state online retailers to collect sales taxes on purchases made by Floridians, and surveys to assess the “intellectual freedom and viewpoint diversity” at state colleges and universities.

It would have merged the state's five school choice programs into two — a proposal backed by Republicans.
