Florida’s Amendment 1: Partisan Storm Brewing in School Board Elections

Source: Palm Beach Examiner
by Karl Dickey

“This November, in the general election, Florida voters will decide on Florida Amendment 1. This amendment, put forth by the Florida legislature, seeks to redefine school boards by proposing a constitutional overhaul of the election process for district school boards, removing the shroud of candidates’ non-partisan status, and implementing their ability to run under political party brands. If passed, Florida Amendment 1 would transform nonpartisan school board elections into partisanship campaigns. No longer would voters unknowingly vote for a Democrat, Republican, or Libertarian; instead, they would be voting with party politics in mind. But why? What drives this relentless quest to inject partisanship into civic duties?” (04/21/24)
