Thank you @GovRonDeSantis for helping us celebrate and elevate our teachers! Florida leads the nation in education because of your continued support of our amazing teachers.
I had the honor of meeting some of the outstanding educators who have helped make our state the national leader in education. I presented the five Teacher of the Year finalists with a $20,000 bonus. All 76 district Teachers of the Year, nominated by their colleagues for…
Florida is the school choice state, and as such, we must allow flexibility to maximize fairness and competition for our student athletes while ensuring that safeguards remain to prohibit illegal recruiting. That is why I sent a letter directing @FHSAA to review all of its…
Great choice for Deputy Chief of Staff! @Jared_Ochs has consistently delivered for Florida’s children from @EducationFL to @fladjj and I know he will continue to fight for bold conservative policy under @GovRonDeSantis.
New: Jared Ochs, formerly of DBPR, is joining the DeSantis admin as deputy chief of staff. Start date is July 28 Reactions from Chief of staff Jason Weida and UWF Pres Manny Diaz:

First Lady @CaseyDeSantis is making a difference in the lives of Florida’s children through Resiliency Florida! We are proud to launch the Resiliency Teacher Resources!
Resiliency is integral to preparing the next generation to overcome life’s inevitable challenges—both at home and in the classroom—and to face adversity head-on. I’ve championed Resiliency Florida to help kids learn how to overcome life’s struggles and to promote virtue in…
Congratulations to my friend @GovGoneWild on his appointment to CFO! Happy to have a conservative fighter in the CFO’s office!

Congratulations to Mark Harrison for being named the 2026 Florida Teacher of the Year! Your commitment to your students is evident and I look forward to working with you over the next year.
Thank you @BenGibson for your service to Florida’s students! We thank you for your dedication on the State Board of Education over the last 8 years. Congratulations to @rpetty and @estherbyrdfl on being selected as chair and vice chair!
Thanks to the leadership of @GovRonDeSantis, Florida has the #1 ranked economy in the country and the education opportunities available for our students plays a huge role in our economic success.
“Florida is #1 in education — and the numbers prove it”. 🔥📚 At @CPAC Latino, Anastasios Kamoutsas — Florida Commissioner of Education — broke down the facts: Florida isn’t just leading in freedom — it’s dominating in education. But the fight isn't over. As a former school…
As a father of four little girls, I will never stand for a boy taking their spot on a team, let alone sharing a private space like a locker room. Thank you @AGJamesUthmeier, @KimJonesIcons, @LaineyArmistead and Cassidy Carlisle for standing up for women’s sports 👏
It was great to join @AGJamesUthmeier to fight for women’s sports and ensure that sports organizations are not infringing on the rights of women to play safely. Florida has led the charge to ensure that Florida’s female athletes do not have to share their sports teams or spaces…
Today, we called on U.S. Masters Swimming, a Florida-based nonprofit, to immediately cease allowing any men to compete against women. We will always fight to protect women and girls from being subjected to men trying to compete in female sports—it’s our moral obligation to do…
Our Teacher of the Year Roundtable is in full swing! It was great to talk to the District Teachers of the Year about the amazing things Florida’s students have accomplished over the last year. #FLTOY2026
It was great to kick off the Florida Teacher of the Year Roundtable with the 76 District Teachers of the Year! I look forward to elevating and celebrating our great teachers the rest of the week. #FLTOY2026
Education should lie with the states, not the federal government. This decision is a step in the right direction that allows USDOE to reallocate resources to students, parents and teachers, while reducing federal bureaucracy. Well done @POTUS and @Linda_McMahon 👏
