Florida’s Department of Economic Opportunity has released their most recent Economic Security Report. This report is a great tool that is specific to the educational and economic environment of Florida and can be used to start informed conversations about the many opportunities to earn a number of recognized credentials at the middle school, high school and postsecondary levels. Encouraging families to start these conversations early is essential to the decision making around a student’s college and career choices and ultimately their outcomes.
Further, it is a statutory requirement to provide a summary of the Department of Economic Opportunity’s annual Economic Security Report to parents of students in grades 6-12. The most recent (2018) report and summary is now posted at and may be distributed by your typical means of communication.
