Hillsborough County's Over Staffing Myth

Hillsborough County School District Superintendent Addison Davis says some schools are living beyond their means and staffing cuts have to be made. 
---
Teacher and School Board District 3 candidate Jessica Vaughn said when she visits schools she’s seen frustration with understaffing, 
not an excess.
“This over-staffing myth is something that I have yet to see or experience or really understand where that’s coming from,” Vaughn said. Both Stephanie Baxter-Jenkins with the Hillsborough classroom teachers association and Vaughn agreed that the District should look at recent software spending before threatening teaching and support jobs.

With just a few months on the job under his belt, Davis has already spent more than $12 million on computer-based learning systems for the district, including a $3.7 million purchase from a company that employs his brother
 as an executive.

School Board Candidate Jessica Vaughn: Choose Wisely

"I'm incredibly disappointed that I have to write this but...if your "principles" encourage you to support a candidate who openly embraces the privatization of our public schools, a candidate who is best friends with Ken Hagan (a Hillsborough County Commissioner who was/is under FBI investigation for BREAKING THE LAW by leveraging his considerable influence to benefit developers by accepting HUGE BUNDLED contributions from them), a candidate who themselves have taken HUGE BUNDLED contributions from those same developers - despite the fact that accepting those donations put this candidate in a direct "conflict of interest" with the planning commission role he was appointed to by Ken Hagan and a candidate who can't even understand a question about equity within our schools; then you really need to re-evaluate your principles and who you claim to stand for.
---
Especially if you supported this candidate in a race with five other candidates whose platforms all embraced public schools, safety, education, equity and transparency. Who you support during times like these, speaks volumes about your character. In closing, I'm just going to leave this right here." MORE

Running Interference in Florida

t’s worth noting: election supervisors have asked for some changes, like extending early voting, to accommodate those worried about voting amid a pandemic. this request for “flexibility,” however, has been summarily ignored by the desantis administration, leading to growing speculation among some elected officials that the trump campaign may be running interference. we’ll just leave with this 2018 quote from u.s. district judge mark walker: “we have been the laughing stock of the world, election after election, and we chose not to fix this.”
