Andrew Atterbury covers education for POLITICO’s Florida bureau. As one member of the team, Andrew’s beat spans from a multibillion-dollar K-12 budget to coverage of 12 state universities and dozens of state colleges. Major issues in the Sunshine State include the ongoing fallout from the 2018 Parkland high school shooting, rapidly expanding school choice programs and the constant clashes between the GOP-led Legislature and teachers.

Before moving to Tallahassee to work at the statehouse for POLITICO, Andrew covered education on Florida’s Treasure Coast, positioned between Orlando and Miami. A native Texan, he moved to Florida from West Texas, where he studied journalism and worked for a former Scripps news outfit.
