Florida’s education policy makers have their eyes focused on pushing their school choice agenda farther than it has gone before.
But not everyone is on board — including some of the conservatives who hail from the same side of the political divide.
Former Martin County School Board member Tina McSoley has launched a fast-growing Facebook group called Reconstruct-ED: A Message to Gov. Ron DeSantis, with a goal of trying to sway the conversation, and the policy trajectory, in a different direction.
Also a former classroom teacher, who now runs a private education group, McSoley talks with reporter Jeff Solochek about her thoughts on the status quo, and the need to fight back.
