Florida lawmakers to take up universal school choice

Many states across the U.S. have adopted some sort of school choice program, allowing students in specific circumstances to use state funds to go to the school of their choice, but the concept of granting all school children this ability is growing in popularity, with several states either adopting such plans this year or moving in that direction. The Florida House and Senate have proposed bills that would greatly expand the voucher program to help any student attend private school, regardless of income or ability.
