Governor Rick Scott will make some new education proposals this week, including more access to charter schools and debit cards for teachers to buy classroom supplies. He said he'll roll out the details Thursday at an education conference in Fort Myers, but gave a preview to reporters Tuesday.
Scott said he'll push to issue debit cards to public school teachers so they won't be out of pocket for supplies. He said at least some of the funds will come from private donors.
"So we'll be talking to companies and try to set it up where even businesses and individuals can be helpful to teachers", Scott said.
Scott also confirmed reports that he wants to end the cap on enrollment in charter schools statewide.
He said he'll make school choice a major part of his education agenda.
