Today I announced support for HB 1285, which will further cement Florida as the best state in the nation for education. Some of the reforms it institutes include: - Simplifying the process to get failing schools turned around so no child is stuck in a poor-performing school, - Incentivizing... show more

It's an absolute shame what happened to your 2024 campaign. Your nomination would have been a guaranteed victory over Biden. Now we're stuck with a wild card whose chances are unknown.

Florida is NOT the top in the nation for education, none of FL cities even place in the "top 25 U.S. cities" for education! Ron DeSantis is a prolific liar! Watch:

Thank God we have a competent Governor in Florida. I wish some of the other states would try it before Florida tips over from transplants.

Are you going to do anything about this sort of crap from gaining hold in Florida schools ?

Scully19892 years ago

FL is 48th in the U.S. Due to teacher shortages not sure how you are going to staff schools. I suppose if you paid teachers a living wage commensurate with the cost of living in FL (starting wage of $70k and $2k for each year of experience for veteran teachers) you might do it.

Today, I announced charter school owners who donate to me are going to get richer while I defund public schools. Fixed your tweet for you.

Desantis is handing over public school funds to charter schools who have no accountability on who they hire.

So what you’re saying in a nutshell is you want to close all public schools so that all children go to white Christian nationalist schools? Do I have this right?🤷‍♀️ @BrandtRobinson is one of the most incredible Teachers you have in Florida. Give Teacher’s a living raise!!!

Florida is not rated as the best in education. Stop fooling yourself. Also, Florida has a serious problem with scammers taking advantage of homeowners by charging them for a job and then not doing it. Sadly, Florida is known as the Con State.

DeSantis got the memo... People don't want the state to offer a million half-baked programs that barely even work, they want the government to be effective and to do a few things very well. Education, policing, managing taxpayer money and such, should all be priorities. The rest is just noise.

Florida is at the forefront of the teacher shortage in 2024, with over 5,000 vacancies–the highest demand in the nation. “Florida is dealing with, if not the worst, one of the worst teacher shortage situations in the nation.” Andrew Spar, President of the Florida Education Assn

That's a lot of talk for Gov whose states grades and graduation rates have dropped tremendously since you came into office.

How about more funding for schools than prisons? Oh and mandating certain funds are allocated toward specific objectives.

Schools are for education, NOT indoctrination. We must reform curriculum, get kids back to the basics of learning, and empower parents to choose the best school for their child through education freedom.

This week, Ron DeSantis announced a clear and concise process for "turnaround schools". These changes will ensure no student is trapped at a failing school in Florida. A new charter school must give preference to kids in the previous school zone and must serve the same grade levels as the previous school. Governor DeSantis: "We do believe in Florida that everybody can succeed. I don't care if you're rich. I don't care if you're poor. I don't care if you're black. I don't care if you're white. You can succeed. But it's our responsibility to provide the tools necessary for success. And that means if a school's failing, we have to act." Florida puts the best interests of kids first. That's why we are & will continue to be the education state. ✅

Attacks on the Department of Education will be devastating for students, families, and educators. Support for special education, rural schools, and more is on the line. Education is key to the American dream. This Administration is completely jeopardizing that.

This Labour Government decided to tax education by charging VAT on schools for the first time. It was implemented in January 2025 - halfway through the school year - so if a child had to move school, it was in the middle of their education.

#WATCH | Noida, Uttar Pradesh: CJP Spokesperson Saurabh Das launches School Audit under 'School Theek Karo' campaign. He says, "Today, we’ve come to Noida. We’re going to audit some schools here as part of our 'School Theek Karo' campaign. We’ll see the conditions in which children are studying. Noida is one of the better districts in UP, so hopefully, the school conditions will be good too. Whatever the situation is, we’ll show you the reality. We want young people from UP to go out and audit schools as well—to show what condition the schools in their neighbourhoods are in and what kind of education children are receiving. Today, we’re planning to visit schools in Noida, but we’d encourage other young people to take on this responsibility too and audit schools in their own areas..."

A shortage of education funding from the state is making it more difficult for local public school districts to meet the needs of their students. State legislators need to invest more dollars in the teachers and others who educate kids each day. #txlege #txed

Today, Alhamdolillah, I inaugurated 10 Nawaz Sharif Schools of Eminence in Sahiwal divisions. This is not just the opening of a school, it is the beginning of an EDUCATION REVOLUTION. For the first time in Pakistan’s history, government schools of Punjab will be providing facilities including top tier AI labs, IT labs, STEAM labs, learning standards, and opportunities that surpass even the most expensive private schools completely free. 300 (two per Tehsil) Nawaz Sharif Schools of Eminence across ALL districts of Punjab, will be completed by September Insha’Allah, ensuring that every child, regardless of their financial background, has access to world-class education. Quality education is no longer a privilege for the few, it is the right of every child in Punjab. The day has come when studying in a government school is no longer something to hide or be embarrassed about, in Punjab, it will now be a badge of honor.

Kejriwal built these world-class schools in Delhi so that children from poor families could get modern education and succeed in the world. But the BJP is turning even these schools into centres of hypocrisy. This Abhinav Arora himself doesn’t attend school, and now his parents and the government want other children to abandon modern education and get trapped in religious pretence instead.

THOUSANDS of families across our state have yearned to choose a school that's the best fit for their child. Now that I signed school choice into law, Texas families have that option. As a result, Texas is on a pathway to be #1 in education.

🚨 ALERT, FLORIDIANS 🚨 YOUR TAX DOLLARS ARE FUNDING THE UMMAH Your tax dollars are fueling a state-funded boom in Islamic schools across Florida — schools that, in their own words, exist to “build Islamic identity” and “raise Islamic faith.” Gov. Ron DeSantis has declared that “Sharia has no place in Florida.” Yet through the Step Up for Students voucher program, as much as $8,000 per child in public funds is going to institutions whose materials emphasize Qur’an memorization, Sharia-based instruction, and Sharia-adherent religious dress codes. In a recent Arabic-language interview, one school director proudly said: “In Florida, there are vouchers … they cover more than 90 percent of tuition. The goal is to raise Islamic identity and faith.” 💰 What was sold as “school choice” has become taxpayer-subsidized Islamic "education" — attracting Muslim families nationwide who see Florida as the best place to fund their children’s Islamic schooling. RAIR Foundation's investigation is uncovering case after case. Stay tuned as we reveal how Florida’s education dollars are being used — school by school. (Preview from upcoming report…)

Why is there a push to close Chicago Public Schools on May 1? According to the Illinois State Board of Education, only 1 in 3 CPS elementary students are proficient in reading and only 1 in 5 are proficient in math. Our kids need more time in the classroom, not less, yet Chicago parents are being asked for their kids to lose another day of school on May 1st for a political Day of Action. Parents and kids rely on schools for learning and consistency. Closing schools will send parents scrambling for babysitters or losing wages to stay home to care for their kids. For some kids, schools are where they get their meals and are the safest place they’ll be that day. As a CPS mom, I have skin in the game and expect my son to be in school where he belongs on May 1st. Keep Chicago’s students in the classroom, parents at work, and focus on the city’s test scores, not its politics. #chicago
