It’s been an incredible honor serving in your administration, @GovRonDeSantis, over the past 7 years.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment to championing policies that have helped millions of families across the state of Florida!

I’m looking forward to this next chapter as the President of @PolkState and am grateful for the trust and support of the Board of Trustees, the faculty, the community and most importantly, the students.

Together we will strengthen Polk State’s legacy of excellence and ensure the college remains responsive to the workforce demands of Polk’s rapidly growing community.

In June, we’re excited to spotlight one of the two books on the Resiliency Reading List that highlight empathy.

The end-of-year newsletter celebrated the strong partnership between parents and educators that helped make this school year such a success, while also expressing appreciation for teachers’ unwavering dedication and commitment to students.

The newsletter also highlighted Governor DeSantis’ recent education bill signings and recognized the accomplishments of the five finalists for Florida Teacher of the Year.

In honor of Memorial Day, I encouraged teachers to share Lynn Hamilton’s book about the holiday as a resource for students to explore over summer to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who served our country. View the newsletter at: https://t.co/Fbhbb1mYzq

To the critics who falsely claim there is no accountability with school choice, here is just one example.

In Florida, we fight everyday to ensure all students have access to an educational learning environment that best meets their individual needs.

Bad actors beware!

As we wrap up the 2025–2026 school year, I want to extend my sincere gratitude to Florida’s parents and teachers for their unwavering commitment to education and to the success of all students across the state.

Together, we will continue building a future where every Florida student can learn, grow and succeed.

Today, @GovRonDeSantis signed Senate Bills 538 and 178 into law, providing greater support for athletic coaches and expanding opportunities for Florida’s student athletes, including those participating in school choice options.

These measures strengthen school athletic programs by investing in the students and coaches who help them thrive, fostering success both on and off the field.

I am thankful to the Governor and Legislature for their continued support of Florida's students and athletic programs.
