Moms for Liberty Florida encourages voters to support Amendment 1 for transparent school boards

Moms for Liberty Florida urges Florida voters to vote YES on Amendment 1 on November 5th. Amendment 1 is a proposed constitutional amendment that seeks to make school board elections partisan once again.

This change would amend Article IX, Section 4 of the Florida Constitution to replace “nonpartisan” with “partisan” for district school board elections starting in 2026.

Amendment 1 aims to bring greater transparency and accountability to school boards within Florida’s public education system. By making school board elections partisan, voters would have a clearer understanding of each candidate’s values and policy positions, allowing them to make informed choices when selecting those who shape education policies affecting children and communities across the state.

Prior to 1998, Florida held partisan school board elections. Amendment 1 seeks to restore this practice, reflecting the reality that many voters already consider party affiliation in their voting decisions.

With a “YES” vote on Amendment 1, Floridians can help bring transparency and accountability back to school board elections. The change would empower voters to better understand who is shaping educational policy.
