Florida Targets Undocumented Students in Career Programs | Orlando News
Description
Florida’s education board is set to ban undocumented students from career and technical programs starting in 2027-2028, reversing a 2014 policy that allowed them in-state tuition. Once backed by Republican leaders including DeSantis’s lieutenant governor, the move now faces backlash from teacher unions who warn it will cripple workforce development in healthcare, IT, and skilled trades. While details remain unclear, a narrow loophole might still allow qualified students into open spots — but for now, the state is heading in a direction many say could hurt its future.
