Following the passage of HB 7067 in the Florida Legislature, Cesar Grajales, Coalitions Director for The LIBRE Initiative – FL, issued the following statement:

HB 7067 is a great step forward to ensure that more and more Florida families have the ability to customize their child’s education so that they are able to grow and prosper.
