Ron DeSantis announced on Wednesday Florida will be opting in to the Federal Education Freedom Tax Credit established through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to expand school choice efforts. About 1.4 million students are enrolled in school choice options in Florida — more than most other states’ entire K-12 school population,” said DeSantis. “The new federal school choice program will allow Florida families to supplement their existing scholarships.”The newly enacted Federal Education Freedom Tax Credit is an opportunity to further support education freedom. In 2023, Florida enacted universal school choice to give every family access to school choice options that meet their needs. Florida ranked #1 for Education Freedom for the third consecutive year by the ALEC Index of State Education Freedom: A 50 State Guide to Parental Empowerment.
