state board of education

After rejecting math textbooks, state criteria now draw the line on what can be included in social studies materials.

Florida will no longer participate in the Youth Risk Behavior Survey, drawing alarm from doctors and child welfare agencies.

Soon-to-be Education Commissioner Manny Diaz is a staunch supporter of school choice, which he says is falsely equated as being against public schools.

The U.S. Department of Education dropped a cease-and-desist order after the state returned money it had been withholding from school districts that had since reversed their mask mandates.

The judge upheld the emergency rule and said decisions to opt out of student mask requirements are at the “sole discretion” of parents or guardians.

The U.S. Department of Education has asked an administrative judge to block the state from slashing federal aid money sent to the Broward and Alachua school districts over their mask mandates.

It's in response to the state saying it will withhold the salaries of school board members in counties that have issued mask mandates.

The change will require that students understand the nation’s founding documents, and involves instilling patriotic values in schoolchildren.

The board adopted an emergency rule in August that said students under a quarantine directive can be deemed in attendance.

The proposed rule, which will be considered Wednesday and would update curriculum for kindergarten through 12th grade, in part involves instilling patriotic values in schoolchildren.

The state keeps coming after school districts over mask mandates. School districts are going after the state in court. Plus, redrawing political districts across the state.

One superintendent asks the Board of Education to take his pay, too, but was refused. Others argued their strict mandates were needed to protect students.
