School choice isn't political for my family. It's personal | Opinion

Every weekday morning, I drive my 13-year-old twins to two different schools. Neither is the school we’re zoned for, and the loop takes me about an hour. Yet it’s the best decision I could have made for them. My son is in a public magnet program for gifted students. My daughter goes to a small Christian private school. As a single mom in Orlando, I couldn’t have made this happen on my own. A Florida school choice scholarship made it possible. These scholarships let funding follow the students instead of staying tied to assigned public schools. Businesses fund many of them through donations that earn them dollar-for-dollar tax credits , notably the state’s scholarships for homeschool families . Others, like the Family Empowerment Scholarship , are funded directly by the state . Few states have taken school choice as far as Florida. Here, all students qualify , no matter what their families earn. More American families could soon have the same choice. A federal school choice tax credit set to start in January would provide families with scholarships for private school tuition, tutoring and other educational costs, but only in states that opt into the program. Right now, decisions about

The Miami attorney sent 435 text messages - after the restraining order

A North Miami Beach lawyer claims her psychological state after going through a hysterectomy clouded her ability to fully understand the injunction against stalking to which she agreed. An Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrest report says Ginna Arevalo understood it well enough to not send the other party 435 text messages, including one that said “Just bc I am a dangerous person who wants to harm you, your daughter, and your employees.” An Orange County jury concurred, convicting Arevalo of aggravated stalking after injunction. With that July verdict, the state Supreme Court hit Arevalo in October with a suspension from the Florida Bar. That’ll be in effect until the professional discipline case is heard by case referee Judge Ariana Fajardo Orshan. Meanwhile, Arevalo’s appealed her conviction while beginning to serve her probation that’s scheduled to run until Jan. 13, 2031. Arevalo’s been a member of the Bar since 2017 with a previously clean discipline record.
