School choice could cause some Florida public schools to close as parents seek other education options

Public schools in Florida, particularly in the Sunshine State's largest counties, are facing closure due to lack of enrollment and parents seeking other educational options like charter schools and homeschooling.

"Parents won't flee schools that are meeting their children's needs," American Federation For Children Senior Fellow Corey DeAngelis told Fox News Digital. "School choice is a rising tide that lifts all boats."

Around 53,000 students have left public schools in Broward, Miami-Dade and Duval counties, Politico reported. They've been forced to cut costs and face the possibility of closing down some schools.
