Prepaid College is taking a new twist. 

Legislation approved by the state Senate Tuesday in Tallahassee would allow parents to send their kids to private, for profit technical schools. Senator Stephen Wise of Jacksonville said every child should have an opportunity.

“You ought to be able to go to truck driving schools,” Wise said. “You ought to be able to go to other kinds of schools besides technical colleges or community colleges or the university. So that’s the motive behind where I am going on this.”

Wise said he is seeking private funding to provide low income students with privately funded pre paid scholarships, but says the plan is several years from fruition.
