Talking Central Florida – September 9, 2026
Tune in on Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. on Central Florida Public Media (90.7 FM Orlando and 89.5 FM Ocala).
This week on Talking Central Florida, as Orange County Public School leaders trim more from their district’s budget, where is state education headed in Florida?
Host Steve Mort is joined by Kayla Kissel, education reporter for Central Florida Public Media, and Massiel Leyva from Spectrum News 13 to look at why parents are increasingly choosing to pull their kids out of public schools and what officials are doing to address emptying classrooms.
Plus, OCPS begins enforcing new rules on e-bikes and e-scooters. And the Florida Board of Governors moves to bar undocumented students from enrolling in state universities.
