Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida Education Commissioner Manny Diaz were in Jacksonville on Monday morning to unveil a number of new education initiatives that will be a priority heading into this year’s legislative session.
Speaking at Duval Charter School at Baymeadows, DeSantis said his priorities will be giving teachers more rights and decreasing term limits for school board members.DeSantis said he wants to increase money that will be allocated to teachers’ salaries from $500 million to $1 billion, but he also slammed local and state teachers unions and accused them of holding up that money.He also said he and the legislature will be proposing a series of laws they are calling a “Teacher’s Bill of Rights.
“That’s your choice. If you want to do it, you know, send money, that’s fine. But, to have it automatically deducted when you sign an authorization form, they don’t even tell you how much is being deducted, you know, that’s not right,” DeSantis said. DeSantis also said he would like to see shorter school board term limits, lowering it from 12 years to eight years.
“That had actually been construed as you can’t even tell people what you are, a federal judge struck that down a couple of months ago. But the reality is people should be able to run for office how they want to run for office. They have a First Amendment right to do that, they can identify with a party or not,” DeSantis said.
