“Over the last several years, our dedicated activists have helped advance policies that give students and their families more opportunity when it comes to education, and it’s gratifying to see the results of their hard work. We’ll keep pushing forward ideas to ensure all of Florida’s students can learn in the way that works best for their unique needs. ”
