.@jane_jrobbins & @libertydocKaren write that instead of improving classroom achievement & helping students reach their highest potential, ‘SEL’ doubles down on failed education fads of the past. https://t.co/MS4rGft1Ik Read their report here: https://t.co/uYa7qh6yPb #edreform

@ahartley98 @JeffSolochek FTR The private school DeSantis spoke from has across the board negative learning gain scores per the state mandated LSI Report. #FLVoucherHeist https://t.co/CW9eowSI6G

Good morning, @richardcorcoran. Since you liked this tweet on my thread, could you please answer my and @FLBaloney’s question? What is the reasoning/rationale behind your plan to leave 600,000 students in the public schools? Why that number?

We look forward to your answer.

The tax package, including the provision requiring school districts to share future tax referendums with charter schools, passes

[Common Ground ED @commonground_ED]

For profit Charter schools that can close their doors during the school year...and yet they are public schools.

[Accountabaloney @FLBaloney]

.@kellistargel will close on the bill. Claims she is "not a blind ideologue"... but she believes charters are public & doesn't want to allow local voters to control the distribution of local funds... wants local communities to fund charters equally (whether they like it or not).

[Accountabaloney @FLBaloney]

.@FarmerForFLSen "we are being forced to take this language, it is not what we wanted, we voted twice." Believes this should be local decision, now "we're putting our thumb on the scale." #SB7123 usurping the will of the voter.

[Common Ground ED @commonground_ED]

7123 passes in the Senate.

[Common Ground ED @commonground_ED]

Glad someone is. The @FLLegislature isn't.

[Christine Sexton @christinesexton]

Another late filed amendment that will be voted on tonight. A 32 page amendment on a bill. Getting tired of reading these amendments. And YES I am reading them

[Common Ground ED @commonground_ED]

.@kellistargel two words....local control. You ARE going against the will of the voters.

[Common Ground ED @commonground_ED]

Once again, the @FLLegislature moves to take away local control by taking away referendum money & giving it to for profit charter schools. If voters choose to give their PUBLIC schools teachers a raise, the legis shouldn't determine that this money should be shared with charters.

[Common Ground ED @commonground_ED]

@fineout @TomLeeFL Says @TomLeeFL "Charter School industry moves the post every year and now they want referendum money. This is a bridge too far. I am not doing it this year. I am voting no. I am not confused."
