Florida School Board Association

Organizers of the NO on One Campaign said they are seeking to use television and social media ads to reach 1 million Florida voters and use partnerships on college campuses to urge young voters to reject Amendment One on Nov. 5.

A proposal that would give Gov. Ron DeSantis power to shape the Florida High School Athletic Association Board of Directors and allow schools to offer pre-game prayers over stadium public-address systems got backing in the Senate.

Florida Republicans want voters to reverse a 1998 constitutional amendment that created non-partisan school board races. School boards have been under fire, most recently, over backlash to school closures, mask-wearing, and teachings on history, racism, and sexual identity.
