If you look closely at the percentage of students receiving schooling OUTSIDE of the public school system over the years, it has NOT increased nearly as much as the increase in the usage of the vouchers since the caps were removed.
If you decipher the data more closely, it could be that a large percentage of funds are being used by people whose children were already attending private school but now they are using the voucher to reduce their cost of that school.
The voucher program was initially aimed at low-income families but has expanded to be available to nearly all Florida students, regardless of income or previous school type. I am all for families having control over their child’s education, however, I still think there should be an income cap to the voucher program.
Hi Josh, We all see what is going on. Maybe not be so prominent in Clay County, but it sure is in many places! Even just this week, Duval County Public School teachers were pushing vile, immoral books again on kids. There is a REASON why there is a waitlist at many good private schools. I have friends who are even homeschooling their kids to keep them out of pubic schools.

No kidding. The teachers today appear (not all, but many) mentally ill. People I know are pulling their kids out of public schools.
Hi Marcia, it’s not kind or accurate to say many teachers are mentally ill. Especially here in Clay county
