High Schools

Lawmakers are getting behind SB 7032 which provides free rides to college.

A bill that would allow people who have dropped out of high school to get tuition waivers to pursue diplomas and workforce credentials at Florida colleges got unanimous backing Wednesday from a key House committee.

Ali Scher's feature film, "Popular Theory," debuts this Friday. Scher said she used her personal experiences growing up in Tampa to create the high school environment in the movie.

The state education department rejected the program, saying it is "inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value."

It cited legal precedents, including U.S. Supreme Court ruling in favor of a high school football coach who lost his job after praying on the field after games.

Among other things, the bill is designed to teach high school students about money management, how to apply for a loan, and how to file federal income taxes.

Data from 26 states - including Florida - suggests the coronavirus may have ended nearly two decades of nationwide progress toward getting diplomas to more students.
