school choice

The League of Women Voters of Florida is out with a report casting the state’s largest tax credit scholarship agency as a "money management/marketing firm operating as a charity.” The League is also blasting a legislative effort to consolidate Florida’s multiple school choice programs.

State Sen. Manny Diaz, R-Hialeah Gardens, has been at the forefront of school choice issues in recent years. This time around he’s pitching a big one: a plan to consolidate the state’s five school choice programs into two. The measure also changes HOW those programs would be funded, and that’s where Democrats are drawing the line.

Florida Republican legislative leaders are lauding a sweeping school-choice proposal, while Senate Democrats have vowed to “fight like hell” against it.

On the eve of the Florida legislature’s organizational session, influential Republican Senator Manny Diaz talked about COVID-19 protocols, the 2020 election, and more. He’s also eyeing a key leadership position down the road.
