Florida is putting science back in its proper place in the curriculum—knowledge, evidence, inquiry, reason, and the formation of minds capable of contemplating the order of creation rather than reciting an ideology. The book of nature is intelligible. Our students should be taught to read it. Join the listening tour. Help restore the discipline.

Remember who we’re fighting for.

KEEPING FLORIDIANS SAFE. This morning, at the request of Commissioner @HenmackIII, the Commission for Independent Education voted to take further action to protect Florida students & residents. Trucking schools found noncompliant must stop enrolling students, cancel unpaid balances, and refund currently enrolled students. We will continue fighting to keep unqualified drivers OFF Florida roads.

HELP SHAPE THE FUTURE OF SCIENCE EDUCATION. We are conducting a comprehensive rewrite of our K-12 B.E.S.T. Science Standards to ensure students learn real science—knowledge, evidence, inquiry, reason, and virtue—NOT ideology. Join our listening tour, give us your feedback, and help decide the future of science and health education in Florida: fldoe.org/newsroom/latest-ne…

.@EducationFL funds the student, not the zip code—and we treat AI the same way. Parents choose the school. Parents choose whether their little ones can use AI. Student data stays off the market. No chatbot “companions.” No machine scoring a child’s personality. No algorithm standing in for a teacher’s judgment. AI is a tool & a very good one at that. Families stay in charge. Students still have to read, reason, and grow in empathy & compassion. Thank you to @Heritage & @JM_Butcher for your thought leadership & partnership! 🇺🇸 realcleareducation.com/artic…

Today, we honored Florida's 2026 Distinguished Educators at the Turlington Building. Thank you to these outstanding educators for your commitment and dedication to our students.

.@FLCollegeSystem is proving what skills-first education looks like when a governor actually leads. Under @GovRonDeSantis, our colleges are back above pre-pandemic FTE. Students are choosing work, wages, and credentials that employers recognize. Now we go further: expand Workforce Pell for short-term, high-value programs; scale @USDOL Registered Apprenticeships with industry in the lead; and deliver @POTUS America’s Talent Strategy so Florida stays the national model—learn here, earn here, stay here.

Thank you for your leadership, the Florida College System alongside you will lead America’s talent strategy as the workforce colleges in our communities!

Grateful for your straight forward leadership with a student first approach. The Great 28 are united!

Grateful to @mdcpresident and the Council of Presidents for the warm welcome today. Meeting with Florida’s Great 28 is a reminder of what keeps our state #1: colleges united around students, skills, and opportunity. Proud to stand with these presidents.

RT @mdcpresident: Great to welcome Florida Commissioner of Education @HenmackIII to today’s @CouncilofPresidents meeting. Across Florida’s…

It’s NEVER too late to learn a new skill. Florida colleges like @SeminoleState and @valenciacollege are providing skills training programs that are attracting many Floridians over 50. Thanks to the leadership of @POTUS Trump and @GovRonDeSantis, many of these students may be eligible for Workforce Pell—allowing them to graduate with new skills DEBT-FREE.

Chancellor Rodrigues sits down with @floridachannel to discuss how the System ensures students receive an ROI on their degree & serves as a national model for higher education. "What we've seen over the last 3 years, particularly, is that recent college graduates - nationally - are struggling to find employment. We know that 75% of our [FL] graduates within a year [of graduating] are either continuing their education or they're in a [full-time] position." Watch more below ⬇️

Kudos to @usedgov & @EDUnderSecKent for delivering the earliest, simplest FAFSA ever. 15 minutes instead of hours. Families get a head start. Students don’t leave aid on the table. That’s real leadership. Grateful for the work.

The Trump Administration just delivered the earliest FAFSA form in history! Students and families now have access to the critical resources they need to start their postsecondary education journey.

Great news for Wakulla! Talented people shouldn't have to leave home to get ahead, and this investment helps keep them in their communities. Growth brings more access to higher education, Floridians ready for better jobs, and local businesses that can thrive. Congratulations!
