Education & WorkForce

On Wednesday, March 11th, AIF’s Senior Vice President of State and Federal Affairs, Brewster Bevis, spoke on charter schools during the House K-12 Subcommittee. Here is what he had to say on behalf of AIF regarding charter schools.

“Charter schools are an important part of Florida's education system. They provide choices and options for Florida families. They also create competition and we know that competition makes everyone better. We support high quality charter schools and common sense regulations that do not blunt the growth of charter schools. More choices and more options for Florida families help create a stronger more competitive workforce.”
