are NO intrusions by the State of FL.

That seems reasonable to me.

Could you please comment on what capecodder posted here?

re post #138 - Yes, I have that before elsewhere.

I have a couple of thoughts on that:

(1) that may be why MANY private schools in FL reject vouchers, and want no part of the FL voucher programs -- and, they are, again, under no law nor requirement to participate. Every private school in FL could have rejected vouchers.

(2) FL is a very transient state by its nature -- you have people constantly coming and going. So, these minimal requirements for sound financial footing, and some kind of educational criteria for teachers, seeks to assure the public that a fly by night operator can not come to FL today, and tomorrow set up a "voucher" school -- when the con artists' intent is not to educate.

(3) In comparison to requirements for public schools, as public schools muct comply with a school code over 1,000 pages, I would say these requirements you are showing me are minimal indeed - but, enough to deter a con artist. And, that is FL -- always trying to provide freedom, but, also trying to protect the consumer up to a point. If these requirements were any less, every crook in the country who wanted to steal money would have moved to FL and set up a "private school." This is what the FL law seeks to avoid, and frankly, I think FL did an excellenet job here.

I really apologize for all myh typos here! I meant: Yes, I have seen that before elsewhere.
