Personalized Education Program

On March 27, 2023, Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law House Bill 1, which expanded educational options for all K-12 students in Florida. The bill created the Personalized Education Program (PEP) as an option under the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship. Parents direct the education of PEP students, and receive access to funds in an education savings account (ESA) for their student.

A student learning plan is defined in statute as a customized learning plan developed by a parent to guide instruction for his or her student and to identify the goods and services needed to address his or her student's academic needs. These plans must be submitted to the SFO annually, before the student is approved for initial participation or renewal. Information on the format of student learning plans is available from the SFO.
