Abstract	Education reformers have long lamented America's persistent racial and socioeconomic achievement gap and framed school choice as a means to provide low-income students of color trapped in failing schools with a ticket to a better education. Yet when parents who participate in school choice programs in states like Georgia or Indiana have been surveyed, at least half of them cite safety as a primary motivating factor. Florida's Hope Scholarship program, signed into law on March 11, 2018, enables students who have been subjected to bullying--regardless of disability status, income, or district school performance--to transfer to another public school or provides them with a tuition tax credit scholarship to use at an approved private school. To inform ongoing and potential state-level debates around anti-bullying voucher or tuition tax credit programs, this paper describes the basic mechanics of Florida's anti-bullying scholarship, the political origin and debate around its passage, and the program's implementation to date.
