Florida Education Department Drafts Rules to Exclude Undocumented Students from Career Programs

The Florida Department of Education is developing new rules to prevent undocumented students from enrolling in postsecondary career and technical education programs. This action follows a State Board of Education measure that already bars these students from public colleges and adult general education. Students will now need to provide documentation of U.S. citizenship or lawful presence, impacting access to vocational training.
