Henry Mack Named Florida's New Education Commissioner | Jacksonville News

Henry Mack is Florida’s new education commissioner, unanimously confirmed by the state board after a swift nomination by Governor DeSantis. With a background as U.S. Assistant Secretary of Labor and former senior chancellor, Mack brings deep education experience—and a clear vision. He’s replacing interim commissioner Paul Burns, who praised Mack’s commitment to parental rights and school choice. Mack’s prior role focused on career and technical education and he’s a vocal advocate for a “classical” curriculum, opposing DEI initiatives. The governor is confident Mack will sustain Florida’s educational momentum, and top education leaders, business figures, and CTE professionals all endorse his appointment.
