The Florida Legislature created the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program in 2001. Last year, scholarships from the program were awarded to a total of 108,098 students to attend private schools in the state.
Jason Bedrick, director of policy for EdChoice, joins Paul E. Peterson to explain how the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship program works and to discuss the results of a new survey of participating families.
Bedrick and Lindsey Burke co-authored a report on the survey, “Surveying Florida Scholarship Families” and also a blog entry about it for EdNext.
