#Florida is seeing the budget impacts of vouchers in real time this session with dramatic cuts being proposed for AP, DE, IB, etc in public schools (which 86% of students attend) while 80% of new funding going to vouchers expansion for students who have never attended public schools. #FLVoucherSCAM

#Florida Prek-12 approps chair Sen. Burgess thinks public ed parents opposed to cut to AP, IB, AICE, DE & CTE are confused. We are not confused! Let him know we will not be gaslit while funds are diverted away from our public schools. Keep contacting legislators! floridapolitics.com/archives/731...

While Gov. DeSantis and the Florida GOP talk about eliminating local property taxes, understand this: Florida's Education Funding Program, which provides the bulk of student funding in K-12 schools, relies on local property taxes to fund 45.6% of its $28.5 Billion budget. #FundSchoolsNotSCAMS

In case you are confused, it is not “parental rights” when the government limits what books your child can access in the library. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/03/07/c...

OMFG: #HB549 “Each district school board and charter school
governing board, beginning July 1, 2025, shall adopt and acquire
instructional materials… and library media center collections that reflect the
new federal designation of the "Gulf of Mexico" as the "Gulf of

#Florida ‘s legislative session begins March 4th. Bills could be passed and signed into law then (32 days later) but we will pay for another special session so we can deport our neighbors and employees even sooner, because, as Gov DeSantis says “Florida must lead.” She gun.

Florida's graduation rates for 23/24 are up - due to the hard work of so many educators. The Governor's press release has a typo. Under DeSantis, graduation rate has risen from 86.9% to 89.7% (an increase of 2.8%, not 19.1%). #Florida #graduation
