Bad schools have no right to exist

A little more than a year after Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) signed legislation adding Florida to the growing list of states with universal school choice, parents are voting with their feet and leaving public schools short of students.

A recent report outlined the reality that declining enrollment, driven in part by the expansion of choice, could lead to the closure of some public schools in Florida. In the state’s most populous counties, more than 50,000 students have left traditional public schools.
