About this event
LUNCHEON & PROGRAM
The August Hot Topics will look at Florida’s recent voucher law that helps parents pay for homeschooling or private schools and how the money is being diverted from public schools. Already the effects are being felt locally. Orange County Public Schools have announced a projected loss of 3,130 students in the 2025-26 year, which will result in a $27.8 million loss in state funding and require cutbacks in all departments.
The moderator is Beth Kassab, editor of the Winter Park Voice.
- Stephanie Vanos, member of the OCPS School Board
- Annie Martin, an investigative reporter for the Orlando Sentinel who has worked extensively on education
