At a Monday morning press conference in Davie, Governor Ron DeSantis said the leadership of the Broward School District has been a “disaster.” DeSantis said, “it is really run to benefit the entrenched interests, particularly the school unions, rather than the parents and the students.” He said the Education commissioner would determine what authority can be used to correct the problems at the District.

DeSantis said those seeking to reform the District in past ran into a “brick wall.”

“There’s a handful of spots around the State where, maybe, thrusting some of these entities into receivership may be the best way going forward,” DeSantis said. “I think you could work things out pretty quickly.”
