Episode Details

Florida’s new education commissioner, Henry Mack, is pushing a sweeping rule that could bar undocumented students from enrolling in career and technical education programs — vital pathways to jobs in healthcare, construction, and agriculture. This move follows a pattern of tightening educational access for immigrants, including a recent decision blocking enrollment in public colleges. With over 500,000 students currently enrolled in these programs, the policy would affect everything from certificates to associate degrees and apprenticeships — impacting students from middle school through state colleges. The State Board of Education votes on it next month, while the State University System plans to follow suit in 2027-28.
