Join us on October 5 for a lively and vigorous discussion on the potential impact of Universal School Choice. HB1, enacted on July 1, is the largest expansion to date of school choice, a movement that began under Governor Jeb Bush and has remained a top priority of Governor DeSantis. How are students and families benefiting? Is anyone being left behind? What implications does this have for public schools? Will this be a bane or benefit for students of today? What is next?
