DeSantis signs education bills, including 'Teacher Bill of Rights,' in Miami.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a "Teachers' Bill of Rights" and a bill approving $1.05 billion for teacher pay increases, which he said was a record for the state. He also signed legislation that would prohibit teachers’ unions from deducting dues directly from employee paychecks, imposes term limits on school board members from 12 to eight years and gives teachers the authority to establish rules on cell phone use in the classroom. The event comes less than a week after U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona visited Miami and criticized some of the politics surrounding education in Florida.
