The governor called for the special session in mid-January — which began on Monday, Jan. 27, less than a week after the deadly shooting inside the cafeteria of Antioch High School.
Lee’s $500 million school choice plan would give 20,000 students about $7,000 each in public dollars to help them pay for private school.
