School Choice

A measure to give nearly every K-12 student in Florida access to a stipend for private school or education programs is moving through the legislature.

Florida House Speaker Paul Renner's plan would move the state closer to what's called "vouchers for all." The path toward universal school choice has been laid out during the past 25 years.

It would set up education savings accounts that, among other things, could be sued toward private-school tuition. Home-schooled students would also be eligible.

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