I was just reading a Florida paper and saw an article saying that School Choice is being pushed very hard in the legislature and that students can even cross county lines.
I know the issues it will raise for high school sports. But, I'm trying to figure how one county district will fund the increase of students. Will one county have to pay another based on the number of students who cross over? Will this produce shortfalls for maintaining their own schools?
For sports, it will be a melee! Coaches will not only have to make certain their current players stay academically qualified, physically fit, and out of trouble. The will also have to visit every middle school within their county and in surrounding counties recruiting players. In a way, principles will have to do the same. Don't they get more funding for these specialty Choice education programs?
All I can say is I'm glad my boys are grown. I wouldn't want them to have to make this choice nor be left out of being pursued by other schools. Either way, it won't be good!
