Homeschooling gains ground with Florida families
The big story: Homeschooling continues to grow across Florida as families seek more flexibility for their children.
State records indicate that the number of students enrolled in the model has grown to nearly 153,000, up about 6.6% since 2020. Another nearly 60,000 get Personalized Education Program vouchers for homeschooling.
Many families who made that option indicate in surveys that they worry about safety at public schools, with other leading factors including a desire for moral instruction and wanting to better emphasize family life.

Tampa Bay’s public school districts manage multi-billion dollar budgets that shape the education and well-being of over 500,000 students, support more than 50,000 employees, and involve thousands of vendors and service providers.
While elected school boards oversee these funds, true accountability begins with the community.
Local media reports have highlighted serious concerns about children struggling to receive a quality education.
This reinforces a simple truth: parents, family members, and engaged citizens must play an active role in the educational process.
Whether it’s attending school board meetings, speaking out, or staying informed—your involvement makes a difference.
Stand up for our kids. Show up. Speak out. Help build a school system that works for every child.
