UnidosUS and our Affiliates and partners are committed to raising awareness about Florida’s education policies. We’re doing this by closely monitoring the implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), a federal law designed to level the playing field for underserved students, including Blacks, Latinos, the disabled, and the state’s nearly 300,000 English language learners, many of whom are Hispanic.

For more information on UnidosUS, visit unidosus.org or follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
