President Donald Trump will call the nation’s attention to one of Florida’s most controversial school choice policies for the second time this week during a planned visit to a Catholic school in Orlando on Friday. During Trump’s speech to Congress earlier this week, he urged lawmakers “to pass an education bill that funds school choice for disadvantaged youth” without giving further details. But his national program could be modeled on Florida’s long-running tax credit scholarship program, which was created in 2001 to help low-income families pay for private schools.
