Florida Department of Education

A House subcommittee approved a bill that would set up a pilot program for four years, with a goal of studying “benefits” of a year-long school schedule.

A Florida Senate cost estimate to create what’s called “universal choice” for Florida’s school voucher program has put the bill at $646 million.

The administrative legal challenge seeks to force the Florida Department of Education to roll back its media specialist training and follow the language of HB 1467.

The nonprofit, American Oversight, is requesting records involving communication between state and federal education officials, outside groups, and the office of Gov. DeSantis.

Said Sharpton: “Our children need to know the whole story. Not to not only know how bad you were, but to know how strong they are."

At the "strong urging" of the state Department of Education, the Duval school district says it will no longer participate in the federal questionnaire for teens.

The nonprofit says Florida leaders never suggested specific changes to the new AP African American Studies course. Gov. Ron DeSantis said the state may "reevaluate" its relationship with the group.

The organization released the new curriculum for the Advanced Placement course after Florida rejected the pilot. The revisions removed units on Black feminist literary thought and Black Lives Matter.

The Florida Department of Education rejected the original framework for the AP African American Studies course.

Of the 12 Florida school districts that defied Gov. Ron DeSantis' ban on local mask mandates, only five have their original superintendents.

"One Governor should not have the power to dictate the facts of U.S. history," Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said of GOP Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' move to ban the Advanced Placement course.

The state’s rejection of the course has drawn national attention, including a rebuke from the Biden administration.
