A school bus driver in Sumter County placed children in harm’s way by intentionally driving over a railroad crossing despite knowing a train was approaching. In response, I sent a letter to all superintendents so that this individual is never hired to work around students again. I also urged districts to reinforce with all staff that safeguarding students is a responsibility that must be upheld without exception.

Through the new History of Communism standards, students will learn the real-world consequences of communism. We remain unapologetic about teaching truth, no matter how hard the media attacks us.

School boards need to support parents, teachers and students, not their own political agendas. Unfortunately, the Alachua County School Board has repeatedly failed its constituents. Tonight, I called them out and personally invited Vice Chair Certain to our November State Board meeting, where she will have to answer some very tough questions.

Florida’s students should never be used to advance anyone’s political interests. While Florida Education Association supports students walking out of class to protest, Florida leaders are fighting to keep students in the classroom. We will always put students first – not political agendas.

Be wary of the silver-tongued conmen who inevitably turn into strongmen to achieve their sick and twisted plan of advancing communism. When the government says it’s “free,” the only question you should ask is “so then what does it cost?”

I condemn the poor leadership of Daryl Jones, whose divisive comments force conservative parents to question whether their children will be welcomed in Leon County Schools. His actions foster the lack of civility that was demonstrated at tonight’s school board meeting.

Continue to work together and finish the school year strong, so every student is ready for the next grade level.

Clay County School Board Member Robert Alvero posted discriminatory comments on social media. I am requiring him to appear before the State Board of Education at their meeting in January to explain this conduct. School Board Members have a responsibility to represent all students and families and uphold the professionalism due of an elected official. Thank you, Sen. Jennifer Bradley, for sharing this video and bringing this to my attention.

Thank you Fox & Friends First for having me on to highlight Florida’s nation-leading school choice programs. With Florida opting in to the federal tax credit scholarship, low-income students in our state will have even greater access to education opportunities that best meet their individual needs. Grateful for the leadership of Ron DeSantis for continuing to put students first and empowering parents.

Leon County Schools continues to show what happens when leadership fails — teachers, students, and families pay the price. This year’s state budget includes a record $1.36 billion for teacher pay increases. With this historic investment, you’d expect Leon County Schools to prioritize teachers and classroom instruction. Instead, district executives and the union president continue to take care of themselves first.

Unions, leftist school board members and certain media outlets claim Florida is defunding public schools. The reality is the exact opposite. Ron DeSantis’ proposed 2026–2027 budget delivers record investments: - A historic $30.6 billion in funding for K-12 education ✅ - $9,406 in per student funding, an increase of nearly $300 per student, providing the highest amount in Florida’s history ✅ - A record $1.56 billion for public school teacher salary increases, an appropriation that did not exist before Governor DeSantis took office ✅ - New funding of $64 million for school hardening at Florida’s public colleges and universities ✅ - New investment of $6 million to establish Guardian programs at public higher education institutions ✅

Thanks to Ron DeSantis, every Florida family has access to universal school choice, empowering them to select the learning environment that best fits their child’s individual needs. We stand unapologetically convicted on the principle of always putting students first!

I’m not surprised to see Google’s AI added Zohran Mamdani to its list of communist leaders that tax the rich—a list that includes Vladimir Lenin and Fidel Castro, who similarly implemented policies focused on taxing the wealthy to redistribute resources. Thanks to the leadership of Ron DeSantis, Florida’s History of Communism standards don’t hold back in describing the atrocities committed by these monsters, while encouraging students to explore the perils of centralized economic control.

I’m proud to share that our students are making great progress as evidenced by Florida’s first-in-the-nation progress monitoring assessment. PM1 results show improvements year-over-year with more students beginning the school year on grade level. Parents can now easily monitor their child’s academic progress and partner with teachers to support continued growth. I encourage families to take advantage of the Department of Education’s available resources to help their child continue to grow throughout the school year.

Thanks to Ron DeSantis cracking down on H-1B visas, we will ensure that Americans are filling out our workforce. The Florida Department of Education and the Florida College System applaud this unprecedented accountability. As a result, Florida’s economy will continue to grow through workforce development and the recruitment of American talent that meets the needs of our state.

Lee County Schools Superintendent Dr. Denise Carlin continues to prioritize students and teachers even when making tough budget cuts. I fully support her decision to ensure taxpayer dollars are used efficiently. SJC School District could benefit from this kind of leadership. Instead, it’s dealing with Superintendent Asplen, whose track record has raised serious concerns about effectiveness, and those concerns continue to show in his leadership today.

Tina Certain, Vice Chair of the Alachua County School Board, appeared before the State Board today to respond to criticism over her recent social media posts that expressed her racist views towards Whites and Asians. School board members must live up to the reality that young impressionable eyes are on them as examples to follow.

Thanks to the leadership of Jenna Persons-Mulicka and Jonathan Martin, Florida has passed Senate Bill 1296! This bill ensures school unions actually represent their members and will expedite salary increases to teachers. I look forward to @GovRonDesantis signing this critical bill.

Superintendent Elijah Key emphasized that the teacher union represents fewer than 20% of educators in Gadsden County. Despite this limited support, the union continues to stall salary negotiations for all teachers by tying them to evaluation results. He added that the union also resists proposals aimed at strengthening teaching and learning. The union meant to support teachers is instead focusing its attention on preserving its relevance, to the detriment of the high-quality teachers it purports to represent.

Today, I found probable cause to sanction a Clay County teacher who posted callous, unconscionable comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. This teacher’s comments were grossly immoral, reduced her effectiveness in the classroom, failed to protect the health, safety and welfare of students, and did not distinguish her personal views from that of a public educational institution. Accordingly, I am seeking a permanent revocation of this teacher’s license. Thank you Attorney General James Uthmeier for your support in ensuring Florida’s teachers who post vile, despicable comments celebrating and encouraging violence in schools will be held accountable.
