Brevard Public Schools in Florida has undergone a radical transformation under the leadership of Megan Wright, the newest chairwoman of the school board. Wright was endorsed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) in 2022 and is a true driver of education reform. Since her election, Brevard has become a national model for change, spearheading significant, and sometimes controversial, new policies that already have created promising improvements in academic performance.
Wright unseated incumbent board Chairwoman Misty Belford in a hotly contested election that ushered in a new conservative majority and paved the way for her chairwomanship. With Wright as chairwoman, the district has launched multiple initiatives that are reshaping the educational landscape of Brevard County.
