With studies showing that one in four students will be bullied at some point in their life, Florida legislators will look at a bill next month that would allow victims of bullying on campus to move to private schools.
The proposed legislation would let a student leave their school 15 days after the reported day of bullying if their parents opt to remove them and be allowed to use a state-backed scholarship to go to the private school of their choice.
Those scholarships would be funded through a tax credit program.
The Palm Beach County School District is reportedly preparing for what type of fiscal impact the bill might have.
