The Senate's latest effort to strip funds from public schools is called the "Family Empowerment Scholarship." This dangerous and flawed voucher program diverts our precious tax dollars to private schools with no public oversight.
This legislation uses property and sales taxes to fund privately controlled schools. We, the public, have no idea who owns these schools, what they are teaching or how well the students are learning.
Our students and teachers deserve better from elected leaders in Tallahassee!
Use this easy tool to tell your elected officials that you expect them to support students, teachers and public schools and demand that they add accountability to Florida's voucher programs and invest in public schools instead of privately owned schools.
See how your legislator voted on the "Family Empowerment" voucher program below. Thank the politicians who voted NO and demand better from the people who voted YES.
Write your own message below and send it via email, Facebook, and/or Twitter. Include a personal reason why this issue is meaningful to you. It is important that your elected officials hear from you. (If you need to- use our sample messaging although, this is less effective.) Then, share this effort with your friends. Together, we can make a difference for children.
There are no officials for you to contact on Twitter.
This action is for constituents of the Florida Legislature only. However, you can still help! Please share http://all4schools.org/schools/ with your Florida friends and family and ask them to take action. Thank you!
Please share this with anyone else who might be interested in supporting students and their public schools.
