Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis isn’t on the ballot — but his education agenda is
across the state. Though the seats are officially nonpartisan, the Republican governor has endorsed 23 school board candidates on the ballot Tuesday in 14 Florida counties — and he's targeted 14 incumbent board members he wants to see voted out.
Florida's new school board members will take office as traditional public schools are facing dramatic declines in student enrollment, with districts large and small wrestling with whether to close schools and what to do with their real estate holdings once the campuses are shuttered. School districts are often among the largest employers and landowners in their communities.
“He knows who the true conservative is in my race,” Marolf said after winning DeSantis' endorsement. “My values are actually to protect children.”, like school board candidate Katie Blaxberg, a registered Republican who's found herself on the opposing side of Moms for Liberty. Blaxberg is running against Geier for an open seat on the board.
