And Alonso and Rizo? They're Instagram collaborators. Officially. Hosting joint "educational roundtables" together. Building a path — one already on the board, the other positioned to run the whole district. Not a coincidence. This is a machine.

Now meet the man pushing for him: Roberto Alonso. Miami-Dade School Board Member. Before that? He spent decades selling EdTech products TO schools. Hero K12. SchoolMint. Plasco ID. Now he's on the board approving what gets bought for your kids. Hate iReady? Talk to him.

Oh, and Rizo used campaign money to pay a sponsorship fee to the Christian Family Coalition of Florida — a group that explicitly works to push "pro-family legislation" into government. That is Christian nationalist language. This man wants to oversee 350k kids in one of the most diverse counties.

Rizo's consulting firm specializes in charter school development. His campaign was funded by charter school real estate developers. His top policy priorities are school choice — not strengthening traditional public schools. Source: @FloridaPolitics floridapolitics.com/archives/472...

A federal court ordered Success Academy to pay $2.4M for pushing out disabled kids. Now they're moving into 5 Miami-Dade schools. Most parents don't know yet. Help us put the facts on a billboard. 🪧 momsforlibros.org/donate1

Whenever lawmakers reduce school district requirements in the name of “efficiency,” families should ask: Is this cutting red tape… or cutting accountability?

Another Randy Fine bill is dead. This was specifically so that pride flags cannot be flown in municipal buildings, schools, city halls, etc. Keep up the calls, emails, and testimony!

Moms For Libros@moms4libros· Apr 8

SB 94, the bill by Randy Fine to lower the age of gun purchases from 21 to 18 has officially died in the Senate. Since bills need a House and Senate version to become law, this bill will not pass this session.

When we when we say that school vouchers defund public schools, this is what we mean. The $48 million deficit (third column 24/25) is passed on to #Florida school districts. This directly impacts teacher pay, student outcomes, programs, services, etc. #PublicSchools

They can’t hide their intentions. It’s clear they mean to privatize public education. We can’t let them. (True North is a Charter School provider with multiple locations in Miami)

Here are some talking points for why this is a bad bill.

SB 140 by Don Gaetz, HB123 by Andrade. Titled Education. We oppose. Overview: These bills propose various educational reforms, including allowing municipalities to apply for job engine charter schools under certain conditions, requiring school boards to submit 5-year plans before acquiring real property, and prohibiting property acquisition if district enrollment has declined in the preceding five years.
Impact: Fails to ensure equitable funding for district schools, school accountability reforms, student health, mental health support, and curriculum inclusivity. It prioritizes charter school expansion over public school investment, lack of student-focused provisions, and insufficient transparency in school choice and accountability.
Talking Points:
• Florida PTA supports strong public education systems that equitably serve ALL students, not policies that divert funds and public investments away from public schools.
• These bills prioritize charter school expansion at the expense of traditional public schools, exacerbating funding gaps and resource disparities.
• These bills fail to ensure charter schools meet the same standards as district-run schools in terms of student outcomes, transportation, financial transparency, and oversight of public goods.
• Rather than expanding charter schools with taxpayer money, Florida should focus on improving public school funding, reducing class sizes, and increasing access to mental health resources.
• These bills if passed would potentially create unnecessary costs for parents and taxpayers, including transportation when drivers are already in shortage for our public schools.
• These bills promote fewer educational options, less funding, and higher student to teacher ratios, and could worsen educational inequalities rather than comprehensively addressing them,

When people attack our education system, they're attacking our future. We won't let them silence marginalized voices, erase historical facts, or limit our children's potential. Dont Defund Public Schools

To say this is disturbing would be the understatement of the century. Remember your history. What kind of leader dictates what our children can or cannot be taught in school? There is nothing “free” about this.

Reese and Kimber have been found and are SAFE! For now, that is all the information I have but am grateful they are ok.

It’s a solemn day to honor the millions of lives lost during one of humanity's darkest chapters. But it’s also a day to reflect on how we got to that point—because understanding history is the key to preventing it from repeating. 🧵

Below is a list of things not currently required in Private schools that accept vouchers. Most of them are also not required in Charter Schools; things like being able to provide support for kids with IEP's/504's.
