Vouchers: Which Florida counties have the most private schools?

Although the use of taxpayer-funded vouchers to attend private school nearly tripled in Palm Beach County this year, it's still far behind other Florida counties that have hundreds more private schools and a larger share of the student population attending them.

The state's voucher program was expanded last summer to include families of all income levels, meaning that nearly every family in the state could opt in to use the voucher to help reduce the cost of private education.

If a student moves from public to private school, the money follows them. If the student previously attended private school and began using a voucher this year, it's a new cost for the state.
