Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

Florida is the third largest state in the country, yet ranks at the bottom when it comes to Education. As a product of Florida's public school system, Shevrin believes that Florida must do better at providing a quality education for all students. As your Senator, Shevrin will file legislation that will raise teachers' minimum salary to $50,000/year, so that teachers are paid what they are worth. Additionally, in effort to protect Florida's public schools, Shevrin will also vote against any legislation that puts taxpayer dollars in the hands of operators who pick and choose the students they will accept and educate.

Further, as the cost of higher education continues to rise, Shevrin took the lead by introducing legislation that provided free college tuition for Florida students. As a Senator, you can expect Shevrin to continue his work to make college accessible and affordable.
