On June 7, an unprecedented number of organizations met in front of Florida's Supreme Court to voice their support of Opportunity Scholarships and other voucher programs as Justices heard oral arguments inside.  Leading the rally were Howard Fuller, Virginia Walden Ford, John McKay and Julio Fuentes - all notable figures in the school choice movement.  JMI would like to recognize board member John Kirtley for continued efforts on the battleground for choice in education.
