Statement from Mark Wilson, President & CEO, Florida Chamber of Commerce on Governor Signing Florida’s Historic Universal School Choice Legislation, Empowering All Florida Parents to Set the Best Educational Path for their Children

“Universal School Choice means every Florida student can achieve their unique educational goals, regardless of their family’s income or their zip code. With only 53 percent Florida third graders reading at or above grade level, it is clear Florida families and students need support and flexibility, and this bill empowers them to have tailored educational experiences rather than the current one-size fits all approach. The Florida Chamber has actively supported this legislation, as it supports our Florida 2030 Blueprint goal of ensuring every third grader in Florida can read at or above grade level by 2030.”
