Where do candidates stand on Educational choice?
Knowing where the candidates stand on the power of parents to choose the best educational setting for their child is extremely important to many school leaders, educators, and families in Florida.

The FCSA team will be at the Florida Charter School Conference this week.
If you plan to be there too, please come by our Booth #110 in the Exhibit Hall on Tuesday, Oct. 16 - 4-5:30 pm, and all day Wednesday, Oct 17.
