Florida School Board Elections Heat Up | Orlando News

Big money’s flooding Florida school board races as Equality Florida and the Southern Poverty Law Center Action Fund pour $400,000 into mailers and digital ads targeting 200,000 voters—aimed at electing candidates who prioritize student success over politics and censorship. This push counters rising influence from figures like Governor DeSantis and Moms for Liberty, whose grip on education policy is weakening but still lingers. With endorsements faltering in recent primaries, the campaign seeks to end what they call “sideshows” and restore focus on teachers and students amid Florida’s culture war over curriculum, books, and gender identity. This isn’t just local elections—it’s a statewide battle over the future of public education. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
