How that somehow makes sense and how it comes together into one Fiscal Year 2022 (FY22) budget that aligns with Gov. Ron DeSantis’ $96.6 billion spending request – now $100.9 billion with $4.3 billion in federal monies added – will be the gritty nub of contention the next five weeks before the session adjourns on April 30. Both chambers’ appropriations committees gave preliminary approvals to their proposed FY22 spending plans Wednesday.

Future of Florida s Bright Futures scholarship on tap in Tuesday hearing

Future of Florida’s Bright Futures scholarship on tap in Tuesday hearing John Haughey, The Center Square © Provided by Washington Examiner The Senate Education Committee Tuesday will hear a proposed bill that would require the state’s largest college tuition assistance program to exclude recipients seeking degrees that don’t “lead directly to employment. The Senate panel will also get an earful from parents, Democrats and students – who are campaigning on campuses statewide against the measure – opposed to the reset when it convenes at 12:30 p.m. for what will likely be a very long afternoon. Senate Bill 86, sponsored by Sen. Dennis Baxley, R-Lady Lake, would require the state university system’s Board of Governors (BOG) and State Board of Education (SBE) to approve a list of career certificate, undergraduate and graduate degree programs “that lead directly to employment” beginning the 2022-23 academic year.
