Ron DeSantis wants to nix Florida private school scholarship waitlist for low-income students
“On Monday, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis announced his intention to end the waitlist for the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship – a program that offers private school scholarships to low-income K-12 students in Florida. His reason: The scholarship’s waitlist has gotten out of control. In fact, in 2019, it already has a hefty waitlist of roughly 13,000 students. ‘I would like to eliminate the waitlist so every parent has the ability to make these choices,’ DeSantis said during a stop at Pine Grove Boys Academy in Lauderhill Lakes, per the news website Florida Politics.”
