A look at the effort to make Florida school board races partisan
Florida lawmakers in 2023 will take into account a decision to amend the state structure to permit for partisan county college board races.
Panelists weigh the professionals and cons of including partisan primaries to high school board races.
The decision have to be accredited by the Florida Legislature this session and accredited by at the very least 60% of the voters in 2024 earlier than it could actually take impact.
If accredited, college board races could be partisan beginning with the November 2026 Main.
