Abstract

This article discusses the recent battle in the Florida courts regarding Florida's version of school vouchers. The article debates the state district level and supreme level decisions (both of which found the vouchers unconstitutional, but on different grounds). The article then recognizes the split in the Florida Supreme Court, noting that all Republican appointees to the court dissented in the ruling and that while the issue is still alive and well, the current Republican governor has recently replaced 4 members of the Court; this restaffing of the court, combined with a school system that continues to fall behind, has created a wide range of avenues for this debate to take... most of which are outlined in this article.
