FILE - House Speaker Paul Renner, R-Palm Coast opens the Special Session Monday, Dec. 12, 2022, at the Capitol in Tallahassee, Fla. – Florida would make every student eligible for vouchers to attend private school with taxpayer money under proposed legislation House Speaker Paul Renner said Thursday will be a priority for the session that begins in March.
“We already have more school choice children, more people that are using choice options in this state than any other state in the country,” Renner said during a news conference. “We're simply making sure no one's left out.”“Many people will stay right where they are because they're happy, but this is really about making sure that there is increased competition,” Renner said.
“Our Republican-led Legislature continues to attack our public schools — our teachers — making it very difficult for Florida to compete with the rest of the nation,” Driskell said during a news conference. “This sets our state back.”
