Bad news for kids. Good news for parents. School is going back soon.
The state of Florida wants to help with a tax free holiday on many back to school supplies.
In general, if your student is going to wear it, put it in their backpacks for classroom use, or use it to do their homework — chances are, it will be available tax-free this week through August 7th.
