The Florida school board members endorsed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) during the 2022 election have fired or forced out multiple district superintendents almost immediately after taking their seats on their respective boards.
In the lead-up to the 2022 election, DeSantis endorsed a host of conservative school board candidates, the vast majority of which went on to win. Now, barely settled into their new positions, these new conservative school board members have made their presence felt, with several boards moving to fire their district superintendents.
