Florida remains committed to longstanding constitutional protections for voluntary prayer and religious expression in our public schools. I applaud the Trump administration’s updated guidance that reaffirms those protections for all students, teachers and school personnel. I sent a letter to parents outlining the updated guidance and explaining @EducationFL’s process to safeguard the freedom of religious expression in all of Florida’s public schools.

Having guardians in schools is one of the most effective ways to ensure highly trained personnel are in place to respond to an active assailant.
HB 757 extends the guardian program to postsecondary institutions, ensuring students have access to safe and secure learning environments.
Thank you @michellesalzman and Senator Don Gaetz for leading this important effort to strengthen school safety at Florida’s colleges and universities.

Thanks to the leadership of @jenna_persons and @JonMartinEsq, 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.

Teacher unions have lost their way—they operate as political activists.
House Bill 995 and Senate Bill 1296 will be the antidote to these concerns, promoting transparency & making sure unions are accountable to the teachers they are meant to represent. tallahassee.com/story/opinion/…

This rule amendment gives colleges a more timely process to communicate changes to programs and course offerings based on student and workforce demand.
✅ Better meet students’ needs
✅ Keep programs aligned with evolving industry and community needs
✅ Increase transparency for program offerings
Jim Rosica@JimRosicaFL
A rule change backed by FL Education Comm'r @StasiKamoutsas would let Florida College System schools terminate bachelor programs that, among other things, "no longer align with the mission or strategic goals of the college." flrules.org/Faw/FAWDocumen…

School unions in Florida aren’t acting in the best interests of teachers, students, or taxpaying citizens — only the political activists at the top. Despite their efforts, Florida has become a model for education and parents’ rights.
Now, Florida lawmakers have the opportunity to preserve and build on these achievements by passing legislation to hold school unions accountable. I appreciate the Trump Administration’s support for this transformative bill and look forward to @GovRonDeSantis signing it into law.
Secretary Linda McMahon@EDSecMcMahon
I commend @GovRonDeSantis and the Florida leaders working to ensure unions truly have the support of the educators they represent. This commonsense reform, SB 1296, reins in fringe political activism from teacher unions and refocuses them on accountability to teachers.

From withholding teacher pay to wasting members’ dues on frivolous lawsuits, teacher unions have repeatedly placed ideological priorities ahead of the educators they are meant to serve.
Legislation sponsored by @jenna_persons and @JonMartinEsq will ensure teachers receive the pay raises they have earned without delay and require unions to demonstrate majority support among the teachers they purport to represent.

I had the privilege of reading to Florida’s earliest learners for Children’s Day at the Capitol. There is nothing more inspiring than seeing their curiosity and excitement firsthand.
Moments like this are a powerful reminder that Florida’s future will continue to be bright!

Last week, I had the pleasure of touring Hialeah Gardens High School in Miami and I left inspired, energized, and incredibly proud of the work happening inside these academies.
From hands-on learning to industry-aligned instruction, students are gaining real-world skills that are preparing them for their future careers!
So proud of you, @HGHS_Gladiators!

Parents want their children to be educated not indoctrinated.
And that’s exactly what we are doing in Florida. Thanks to @GovRonDeSantis, our schools are focused on teaching and learning, not activism.
We will continue to call out @FloridaEA for attempting to turn our schools into ideological playgrounds.

I had the honor of recognizing Nancy Sauls as @EducationFL’s February “Going the Extra Mile” Employee of the Month. Nancy serves as an Operations Management Consultant within our Division of Finance and Operations. She exemplifies the dedication and initiative that keep our Department’s operations running seamlessly each day.
Pastor Eli Hendricks from LifeWay Community Church led us in prayer and the Fairview Middle School Falcon Jazz Band displayed an amazing performance.
