"This is not about politics," De La Rosa-Aponte said..

I admit I too found it odd that the press release from Gov. Bush's people did not mention she is a Dem. But, perhaps they wanted to honor her sentiments, above, as she believes this is not about politics. And, I often feel that way as well, because I just want to see progress made and I don't care which party makes such progress. If Gov. Bush wants to take the lead on issues the Dems should not have ignored, but did, well, that's fine with me.

"But, perhaps they wanted to honor her sentiments, above, as she believes this is not about politics."

I have no doubt that motive was what's behind the Bush people's omission.
Which easily & satisfactorily accounts for their behavior?

Now then; think Janet Reno's people are going to follow that tack, summer dear?
Silly question, eh?
Nevertheless, a question which begs a careful, honest answer; before you [FL Bush supporters] enter the political arena to do battle with this particular person.

Have ya noticed just who this Reno character's recruited to run her campaign?
You have??
OK then; study her new Campaign Manager's last gig, & then?
Mix in copious amounts of James, "Serpent Head" Carvile's MO running the Clintler campaign & you start to synthesize & conceptualize a pretty good picture.
A picture of how they're going to fight, what they're going to use in said fight, and, the depths to which they'll condescend in their hell-bound effort to win this old bag the Big Chair in Tallahassee.
OK?
Yes Ma'am ya sure will, alright; better than having a Chrystal Ball. ;^)

"And, I often feel that way as well, because I just want to see progress made and I don't care which party makes such progress."

As do I, summer; moreover, wasn't it the *Great Communicator* quoted saying something like, "I don't care who gets the credit for a good idea; as long as we can do it." [paraphrased]
Yea summer, great minds think alike, then; your's & his?

"If Gov. Bush wants to take the lead on issues the Dems should not have ignored, but did, well, that's fine with me."

But summer dear?
Is it not that to which the fighting's all about, sweetheart.
That *is* the essence of politics; right?

...here, have an apple. :^)

Amore, I think I finally found the answer to original question:

You do need to start at the local school district level -- as school districts in FL have local control, and the FL statute seems to encourage, but not mandate, an additional open enrollment program in public school choice.

But, if your school district does not provide for open enrollment in public school choice, then, you can still obtain such public school choice (in addition to private school choice) through this scholarship / voucher program.

I could be wrong, but I think that sums it up.

Click here to read the following info about this disabilities voucher / scholarship program:

Parent Choice

Throughout Florida more than 900 students with special learning needs attended private school in 2000-2001 under the McKay Scholarships Program for Students with Disabilities.

The McKay Scholarships Program also provides parents with public school choice. A parent of a student who is not progressing according to the Individual Education Plan may choose to transfer their child to a higher performing public school. Florida's school choice programs were established to give the best opportunities to parents and students, so that no child is consigned to attend a school where they cannot learn.

----------

Public School District Responsibilities

There have been changes signed into law. Please Note.

School districts must:

Make information about the scholarships available to parents

Offer parents an opportunity to enroll their child in another district public school
