Florida Education Association (FEA) President Joanne McCall issued this statement today:
“Donald Trump’s call to eradicate the Department of Education would have devastating consequences to our nation’s students — especially in Florida. From providing childcare subsidies to hardworking families-in-need to assisting more than half a million of Florida’s students each year through the crucial college affordability Pell grant program — our nation’s young people deserve a leader who will expand and improve access to quality education, not thwart it. That’s why the Florida Education Association proudly stands with Hillary Clinton – a true champion of America’s students.”
