Further, if he is shifting money from this part of education to some other part of education, it doesn't tell us they have cut funding for education.

The way the article reads, Governor Scott didn’t do it, House education appropriations Chairman Erik Fresen, R-Miami did.

Further, if he is shifting money from this part of education to some other part of education, it doesn’t tell us they have cut funding for education. It does look like they are cutting it from one of the best “bang for your buck” parts of education, though.

It is possible they needed fewer teachers for the work load, but it doesn’t say that. It is possible there were fewer students attending, but it doesn’t say that. Somewhat disheartening, isn’t it? Virtual school is a good method of getting instruction to students everywhere in even the smallest schools or when they can't attend regular schools. It may not be for everyone, but is good for many and cost effective. (Although it is hard to drive a bus to a virtual school.) David for better education for the people who will be taking care of us when we are old and feeble REGARDING:

Now FLVS can't line their pockets as much so once again teachers are getting hurt. It just goes to so that in Florida it's all about the money with regard to education.
