A constitutional amendment put on the ballet by petitions from Florida’s voters to provide Universal Prekindergarten education to all four year-olds starting in 2005. The voter-approved legislation is the first of its kind: the voters mandated the initiative.
This case study focuses on what Florida’s voters did, who inspired them to do it, and how their successful UPK campaign was organized, run, and financed.
