Our Schools Belong to our Communities, not Tallahassee!
Tallahassee just gave outside operators the power to take over local public schools while silencing parents and school boards. That’s not local control. It’s a state takeover.
Every child deserves room to learn — but new state rules in Florida are letting Schools of Hope operators move into public school buildings, taking away classrooms, programs, and opportunities. This short whiteboard explainer breaks down how the new Rule 6A-1.0998271 hands control of local school facilities to state-approved operators, forcing districts to give up “underused” space — even when schools are full and thriving. See how this policy: Strips local school boards and parents of decision-making power Forces districts to pay twice for facilities and services Shrinks art rooms, libraries, and safe spaces for students Undermines the original intent of Schools of Hope — which was meant to help struggling communities, not take over successful ones 🎒 Our schools belong to our communities — not to Tallahassee. 📣 Learn how to protect public education and demand transparency at www.schoolsofnope.org
