The Florida Department of Education is developing a rule to govern distribution of Family Empowerment Scholarship payments to families, the agency noticed Friday. Lawmakers considered but didn’t pass a major package, SB 7030, this session to address school choice scholarships, including how and when payments should be distributed to schools and families. In the early days of the 105-day session, school administrators voiced concerns that state money meant to follow students to their schools of choice was at times getting lost, and the state was losing track of where students were enrolled.
