There is very little that Republicans and Democrats can unite on lately, but members of all parties are aligned on the necessity of renewing this referendum.
Without it, teachers and school police will see a massive pay cut and the effects will be immediately felt.
The interests of teachers unions, GOP elected officials, the superintendent and charter schools don't always align.
But on Miami's school tax referendum, they are singing from the same hymnal. More from the unnofficial launch of the campaign here.

Florida gave families ~$8K/year in voucher money starting 2023. Private school tuition has gone up faster than inflation ever since. Coincidence? A CBS12 I-Team investigation says no, and so do we. 🧵
Meanwhile: ~500K kids now in FL private schools, up 25% in 5 years. Billionaires like Stephen Ross are bankrolling new private campuses in Palm Beach. The money is flowing, just maybe not where "school choice" promised it would.
This isn’t just about undocumented students.
Foster youth, homeless students, & families in transition could all be affected when access to school depends on documentation.
That’s why this matters.

.@propublica: More than half of FL's private schools don’t serve students w/ disabilities.
Voucher schools can choose who they serve, but public schools can't. As enrollment declines, public schools lose resources, hurting the students who remain.

1/ "If you don't like it, just buy the book." I keep hearing this in the library censorship debate. Let's talk about why it's not the solution people think it is. 🧵 h/t @FLFreedomRead
5/ If we actually want to fix child literacy, the answer isn't "parents should buy more books." It's: stop censoring school libraries, stop attacking librarians, and fund the infrastructure that gets the right book into a kid's hands the day they want it.
