Dominic Calabro, Florida TaxWatch: “Evidence-based analysis of the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship has repeatedly shown that the program is a valuable learning option for struggling low-income students and saves tax money at the same time.”

Julio Fuentes, Hispanic Council for Reform and Educational Options: “The reason a coalition of black, Hispanic and Jewish leaders in Florida is so passionate about learning options for poor children is much the same reason people across this country are being reduced to tears by a new documentary film called Waiting For Superman. What hurts us is to see any child denied a genuine education opportunity.”

Rev. H.K. Matthews, civil rights leader: “The Tax Credit Scholarship is not a solution for every child, but it is one tool to aid public educators in their efforts to reach at-risk children. … Too many of our children are failing and dropping out, and I have no patience for those who would deny them educational opportunities.”
