Angelica Kurzweil, a mother from Deerfield Beach, highlighted the importance of school vouchers, stating, "I am very happy I have the opportunity to put them in the school of my choice." This reflects the perspective of many families benefiting from the program.
The scholarship program has expanded significantly, with over 73,000 students in Miami-Dade and nearly 52,000 in Broward set to receive vouchers worth up to $8,000, which can be applied towards tuition and related expenses.
Critics argue that the newly expanded voucher system is financially unfair, declaring it "welfare for wealthy families," emphasizing concerns that public schools could become a last option for low-income students.
Governor Ron DeSantis and supporters of the voucher program assert that it promotes school choice for all families, contrasting with its initial design, which targeted only low-income and disabled students.
