The big story: If there has been a place in Florida where the politics of Gov. Ron DeSantis have loomed large over schools, it’s been Broward County.
His actions have led to the departure of a superintendent and school board attorney, and the removal of a majority of the School Board members, in the largely Democrat county that doesn’t often see things his way.
The latest effect of the effort came late Monday. The five DeSantis appointees to the board — four of whom depart in a week when their elected replacements are sworn in — voted to fire superintendent Vickie Cartwright, the Miami Herald reports.
