Happy Labor Day! Today, we honor the people whose work keeps our communities strong.

From protecting school choice to boosting teacher pay, Florida's 2026 session delivered wins that put students first. Here's a look at what passed — and what the Foundation helped stop. afloridapromise.org/2026/08/…

The data in Florida show that despite the Legislature’s billion dollar effort to raise teacher salaries, they’re still getting the short end of the stick while administrators are living large. Union contracts at the local level block teachers from directly receiving the pay raises the Legislature has given them. And Florida districts have more money available to them today than before universal choice. All while serving fewer students. If school districts are looking for ways to improve their finances, they should start by trimming their administrative bloat. If the unions are looking to give teachers a raise, they should see themselves out and let teachers receive the money they’re owed without the union middleman.

"We all agree that teachers are the key to student success. They are the backbone of our schools and deserve competitive, professional pay. But if we want to solve the teacher shortage, we need to stop using school choice as a convenient diversion from the real issues. We need district leaders to take accountability for their own budget priorities, ensure that increased state funding actually reaches the classroom and commit to a system where teachers are valued and supported."

🚨 NEW RESEARCH: Report finds Florida public school funding increased significantly despite declining enrollment, raising questions about staffing priorities and teacher pay. afloridapromise.org/2026/08/…

When families have options, schools rise to meet them. Miami's Catholic schools are growing fast, with enrollment up 8.2% in a decade, and outperforming on NAEP. That's what a healthy school choice ecosystem looks like. #FLpol heartlandernews.com/catholic…

"School choice is here to stay. Attacking choice or suing to end it will not win back a single family. Earning their trust through excellence will. Every child in Polk County deserves an excellent education, and every school should have to earn that family’s trust." Read @KateforKidsFL's full article here ⤵️ midfloridanewspapers.com/fou…

ICYMI, we recently published a new blog post compiling key research findings from Florida’s private #schoolchoice programs, including the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship and Family Empowerment Scholarship. afloridapromise.org/2026/07/…

Florida families are choosing education options that work for their children—and the research shows those choices can benefit students, public schools and taxpayers. #schoolchoice #florida afloridapromise.org/2026/07/…

"As this case moves forward, I hope the conversation stays centered on students. Behind every policy argument is a young person trying to learn, grow and imagine a future that feels possible. I am one of those students." floridapolitics.com/archives…

“It’s time for Florida’s leaders to recalibrate the bar, recommit to high expectations and measure what truly matters. If Florida is to drive improvement and reclaim its position as the national leader in student achievement over states like Mississippi, then holding schools to a higher bar is the critical first step.” Read @LevesquePat's full statement on #Florida's 2026 School Grades release here ⤵️ afloridapromise.org/2026/07/… #flpol
