Jake sums up some of the proposed bills that are likely to succeed or fail, particularly some proposals that look like distinct reversals on previous positions. Meanwhile, the legislature's primary function -- to establish and approve an operational state budget -- remains incomplete, and will require convening an extension to the current session at a to-be-determined date.

On this episode, Dr. Tony Arza provides a recap of the 2024 Florida Legislative Session and highlights key bills that will impact charter schools. 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

This week, we are talking about what is perhaps becoming Florida's fiercest political feud: Gov. Ron DeSantis vs. Disney.    In the last days of the Florida Legislative Session, lawmakers passed House Bill 1557 —Parental Rights in Education, dubbed by critics as the “Don't Say Gay” bill.  After its passage and support by DeSantis, Disney came out against the bill, and, in a show of support for their cast members, pulled political contributions in Florida.    DeSantis countered, saying Disney stepped over a line by condemning the legislation and called Disney a “woke” corporation. Beyond that, the governor intimated that perhaps lawmakers in Tallahassee should reexamine the special perks that Disney enjoys in Florida, specifically the Reedy Creek Improvement District designation, which allows Disney to basically operate as its own form of government on its property.    The RCID has been in place since 1967, enacted by the Florida Legislature at the time.  Political analyst and former State Rep. Dick Batchelor joins Ybeth Bruzual and Greg Angel to talk about DeSantis vs. Disney on this week's Beyond the Soundbite.
