This comes after DeSantis has signed several bills into law in the last couple weeks.
The governor signed a measure that will revamp the state’s testing system and eliminate the Florida Standards Assessments.
Last Friday, he signed CB/HB 1467 into law, imposing four-year term limits on school board members and subjecting most material in district schools’ libraries and classrooms — instructional or otherwise — to new governmental oversight and approval practices.
