The voice of the charter school movement, the Florida Charter School Alliance (FCSA) is non-profit, member-driven organization. Our mission is to improve student achievement, teacher quality, and promote parental choice by advocating for, supporting, defending, and collaborating with public charter schools. Our member schools serve approximately 58% of the charter school student population in Florida and run the gamut of choice educational programs – ranging from urban to rural campuses, from programs specializing in exceptional students or drop-off prevention to unique classical curriculum, and college-prep programs in high-need areas. Yet all our member schools have a common thread – a steadfast commitment to raising the bar on public education and providing a quality education option to the children and communities they serve. There are more than 341,900 public charter school students in Florida. If Florida charter schools were a district, it would be the 2nd largest school district in the state. #FloridaCharterSchoolAlliance #FCSA www.flcharteralliance.org

Florida's legislative session has reached the halfway point, and the cretins that control the state are doing their best to turn it into Gov DeathSentence's own personal rightwing autocracy. It's been too long since my friend, fellow FloriDUHian Deborah Newell Tornello joined me for a Floriduh segments. The fact that her family now splits its time between here and Canada, gives us even more to discuss. But we just passed the halfway mark of the 2022 Florida Legislative Session, and the governor and his minions are working hard to deny us of our rights Of course, FloriDUH is one of the states that never accepted the government's very generous package to extend Medicaid and help kids who might not otherwise have access to health care. Fortunately, the RAMUSA medical expedition is headed to Ft. Lauderdale next month. I'll explain what that's all about and why it's so necessary, and how you can volunteer or get health care!
