Florida Republicans, led by Gov. Ron DeSantis, are championing a new initiative to allow small private schools, or "microschools," to open in non-traditional spaces such as libraries, movie theaters, and churches. This move, backed by state lawmakers, is part of a comprehensive education law that took effect July 2024. The provision, which has garnered little attention, has the potential to serve as a model for other states aiming to broaden private school options for families.
