Attending my private school provided me with what I needed to thrive. I had smaller classroom sizes and a school setting that offered the specialized teaching I needed. Everyone should be able to choose the right education path for their child. Educational choice should not start at college; it should start from the very beginning of education.

Florida has long been a pioneer in ensuring that families can choose the learning environments that align with their values and work best for their children. Now its lawmakers have cemented the state’s status as a national leader in education freedom and choice.

Speaking at a Catholic all-boys school in Miami, DeSantis hailed the move as a major and historic victory for school choice. “Today’s bill signing cements us in that number one position because we’ll be signing legislation which will represent the largest expansion of education choice not only in the history of this state but in the history of these United States. That is a big deal,” DeSantis said to cheers.
