The Florida Board of Education is meeting in Orlando this week to discuss state budget requests and a legislative agenda. They could also decide whether to challenge a court decision granting in-state tuition to the children of undocumented immigrants.
Florida requires students prove their parents are residents to receive in-state tuition. But a federal judge says Florida can't force the children of undocumented immigrants to pay full price for college. Now the state Board of Education must decide whether to challenge the ruling.
The decision could save students $200 million in tuition, and take that money from school budgets.
