The first, and presumably last, all-Charter district in Florida, Jefferson county, was a disaster led by State backed criminals. Jefferson County schools have now been given back to the public but only after Charter fraud was uncovered.

Thank you to Hillsborough Public School Advocates, OASIS, Frameworks, @ECHOBrandon, and the Brandon High School PTSA for being a part of our Community Schools in Hillsborough Schools panel during open house 🦅❤️🦅 @HCPS_FACE

The real "school choice" was the chronically underfunded public education system Texas made along the way. 🙃 #TxEd #TxLege  houstonchronicle.com/opinion/editor…

“But is it fair to students in our public schools, whose teachers often pay out of their own pockets for classroom supplies, that taxpayer dollars are being spent on Disney passes and big screen TVs for voucher families?” (said Holly Bullard of FPI) tampabay.com/news/education…

Step Up responds to Florida Policy Institute and others confirming, as predicted, 87% of HB1’s new universal FES-EO vouchers are going to students never enrolled in public schools. The snark in SUFS’s letter is palpable. FYI @joshcowenMSU drive.google.com/file/d/1yyl80J…

"...roughly 7 in 10 new scholarship awards are going to students already enrolled in private school, at what FPI estimates is a $676 million cost to the state. This is more than triple the initial estimate by the Florida House." Full statement 👇👇#sayfie floridapolicy.org/posts/statemen…

Old news but a crook is a crook. Richard Corcoran tries to profit off public education and now makes one of the highest salaries in any state University in Fl. tampabay.com/news/florida-p… University of South Florida @NPEaction Florida Policy Institute

Largest charter school chain in Texas is in trouble with the state's education agency for financial malfeasance and profligate spending. #CharterSchoolFail texastribune.org/2024/03/06/ide…

The war on public education will be the stealth issue of the 2024 campaign. Couldn't agree with Will Bunch @willbunch.bsky.social more about this inquirer.com/opinion/school…

How many news stories will break in different states about voucher fraud before the “it was just one bad apple” excuse from voucher lobbyists will finally lose its credibility?

$62MILLION: “district figures show, among the charters that do report, that far and away the largest use of the tax revenue by charters is rent payments — a clear boon for landlords and charter management companies. Less clear is how students benefit.” jacksonville.com/story/news/col…

"Public schools must serve all students, regardless of political affiliation, and, therefore, school board elections must remain open to all voters, regardless of party affiliation. On November 5th, vote NO on Amendment 1." #NooneWantsNo1 #Florida accountabaloney.com/no-on-1-classr…

Several of our schools were awarded a combined $26,000 this evening by the Hillsborough Public School Advocates and Beef 'O' Brady's's Community Builder Grant. This grant program is designed to help schools launch and build sustainable programs for their school community.
