Duval
Great quote by Katie Hathaway. Seizing local property from our public schools & giving them to for-profit corporations is the most insane thing Florida has done in my lifetime. Nothing short of an attempt to privatize our school district with no input from local leaders & voters.

Correct me if I’m wrong but it appears Mater plans to 3X the size of Phillip Randolph rent & services free. The original date on the letters is 10/8, so DCPS has until Tuesday, 10/28 to object but only by offering other buildings but the charter corp. isn’t required to comply.

I’m sick reading the Schools of Hope details. The state of FL is attempting to seize Duval owned public school facilities & let for-profit charter corporations use them for free. DCPS must pay for all school services even though the charter corp. plans full takeovers in 5 years.

A new Florida state law is allowing out-of-town for-profit charter school corporations to use Duval County public school facilities, free of charge. Mater Academy out of Miami has submitted a proposal to start taking over A, B, C rated public schools. That was never part of the charter school deal.

I think Duval tax payers deserve to know more about the state mandated training Jessie and April’s org is providing.

It’s just so sad that unethical people like this are on public school boards all over Florida now.

Are Duval tax payers paying to help our school board members learn to just make stuff up as a political strategy?

The conference is being billed as a conservative policy & training summit by April Carney’s political organization, Florida conservative coalition of school board members. Ryan Walters & Manny Diaz both speaking. This is a partisan, political meeting being funded by Duval tax payers, pure & simple.

Looks like April’s org Florida Conservative coalition of school board members is providing training before Ryan Walters and Manny Diaz speak. This is a political event. Pure and simple. conservetheboard.com

Not shocked but I was unaware that Cornerstone Academy’s co-founder was a long-term Koch brothers operative. Another data point that Duval County is about to be front and center in Florida’s push to privatize public schools.

5 Duval Mom’s of Liberty school board members scheduled to spend $7,000 going to a conference to scheme more money for classical charter schools put on by a guy that retweets disinformation about “deep state” bio-weapon sites in Ukraine. Feels like a partisan to me. Yikes!

Good grief! This thread is crazy.

Here’s Hoyt retweeting disinformation about the “deep state” and bioweapon sites in Ukraine. Yikes!
