Parents and educators are urging Governor Rick Scott to veto the expansion of vouchers, which drains money from public schools.
Scott is up for re-election.

“We stand united in our opposition to voucher expansion,” said Mindy Gould, who oversees legislative affairs for the PTA. “The governor needs to know that…..
“Other groups involved in the campaign against the proposal include the Florida School Boards Association, the League of Women Voters, the Spanish American League Against Discrimination, and the Sant Le Haitian Neighborhood Service Center in Miami, according to the PTA.”
Scott, a conservative who supports privatization, has until June 28 to act.
