About Us

A non-profit group of parents, teachers, principals, and volunteers have come together as Floridians for Quality Education to support public education.  We want to recruit residents and elected officials to help us advocate for better funding for public schools in the future.

The Challenge

In 2008, many school disctricts in Florida had to deal with major cuts in funding while trying to meet teacher and student needs in the classrooms.  Our state does not spend enough of the state budget on schools and public education and needs to re-direct more of its budget to education for county school systems.
