The State Board of Education in Florida met today to discuss school district compliance with the state’s new Parents’ Bill of Rights.
Last month the state’s Department of Education sent letters to 10 districts statewide asking them to confirm they had updated their policies and guides to comply with new rules passed by the board in October. Many of the issues cited in the individual letters dealt with LGBTQ+ student privacy, and the use of bathroom and locker facilities by transgender student Jacob Oliva, senior chancellor of the Florida Department of Education, wrote letters to select school districts in November citing specific examples where existing district policies and publications did not comply with the new rules. The districts included Alachua County, Brevard County, Broward County, Duval County, Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind, Hillsborough County, Indian River County, Leon County, Miami-Dade County, and Palm Beach County.
Under Florida’s controversial HB 1557 passed and signed into law earlier this year, parents must be notified of any changes related to their child’s health and well-being and the school’s ability to provide a safe and supportive education.
