Saw this commercial with the Gov. talking about state senators who don't want to back this program. Well it takes MFP money and gives it to private schools and if they get kicked out the money doesn't follow the kids. That is public money it should stay with the public schools and of course the Puppet Cade Brumley is supporting the Gov. on this. This doesn't sound to ethical to be taking MFP money and giving it to private organizations. Then running a commercial to put pressure on these senators. Something about all of this doesn't seem on the up and up.

Couldn’t disagree more. The public school system has failed us and continues to take our tax money to supplement propping it up. Our tax dollars should follow our children to whichever school option we choose.
If the public school option is better, then they should get funded based on per pupil. However, if there is another alternative, such as a private or Christian school, then the tax dollars need to follow the child’s education cost.
It makes the public school as well as the private school more accountable and forces them to be more efficient and compete for business.
What is so hard to understand about that?

People of St. George should be able to take their tax money for schools and transfer money to catholic schools' tuitions.

This shite better not pass.
I would think a large section of private school parents (myself included) would be above the income threshold to receive the govt handout and will take the inevitable increase in private tuition squarely up the arse.

Unless the state is printing money ... Then that is private citizen money being taxed/ allocated to educate private citizens children - for the greater good.
Frankly it's overdue that private citizens be handcuffed to public education. For my taxable life, I will have to support a failing misguided public school system..even when my kids aren't in that school. Why shouldn't I be able use those funds for the best education possible when they are in school?
Btw my kids are home today because the public school that they go to unofficially said stay home, because they are focusing on tests for higher grades...all other students will basically spend the day in the cafeteria watching movies. But then.. The rest of the school year..
The problem is.. That the state "scholarship" ( in FL) has made private school so popular that kids are on wait lists 200+ deep why...in large part, public school teachers have brought this on themselves (granted there are crappy parents being reflected in their kids, but .teacher professionalism is virtually non existent. I hear from my kids about the teachers new tattoos . Teachers wear jeans /yoga pants & t shirts, .have quarter sized holes in their ears. .in two different "meet greet" sessions teachers mentioned " making it up as they go and this is a highly rated public school
And middle school safe spaces for LBTQA_____
Why shouldn't I be able to use my tax dollars to pay for my kid to get out of that? We are wait listed because... The private school was calm, organized and focused

I think the ESA bill is basically dead. The Senate version was amended so that now they're doing a study, and the House version is now with the Senate.
eta: They kicked the can down the road once it was time to allocate funds.
eta2: There is currently no "income cap" in either bill as it relates to eligibility. Starting with the 3rd year, all students would be eligible regardless of household income. The income brackets are related to how much the parents receive (55% state per pupil expenditure for most, ~$5,500.)
