He was joined at the news conference at True North Classical Academy by Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez, House Speaker Paul Renner and Education Commissioner Manny Diaz, among others. “Since I’ve become governor, we actually have $1,000 per student than we did in 2019,” DeSantis said. “Even as we’ve expanded private choice and charter programs, all this stuff, you still have really significant financial support -- unprecedented financial support -- for our public schools.”
“Teachers think if they discipline a student that people are going to go after them for just keeping order,” DeSantis said. “So we’re going to make sure that they have an ability to do that.”
