School board

The Broward County school district is overseen by a nine-member board elected to four-year terms. Seven members are elected to geographic districts, and two members are elected to at-large seats.[7]

On August 26, 2022, Governor Ron DeSantis (R) suspended Laurie Rich Levinson, Patricia Good, Donna Pilger Korn, and Ann Murray for misuse of authority, neglect of duty, and incompetence; and appointed Torey Alston, Manuel Serrano, Ryan Reiter, and Kevin Tynan to the board to fill the vacancies.[8][9] DeSantis said the suspensions were a result of a statewide grand jury report on the investigation of the school district's handling of the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.[10] "It is my duty to suspend people from office when there is clear evidence of incompetence, neglect of duty, misfeasance or malfeasance," said DeSantis. "The findings of the Statewide Grand Jury affirm the work of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas School Safety Commission. We are grateful to the members of the jury who have dedicated countless hours to this mission and we hope this suspension brings the Parkland community another step towards justice. This action is in the best interest of the residents and students of Broward County and all citizens of Florida.”[9][11] In a written statement to The Miami Herald, Rich Levinson said, “What country is this? What Governor DeSantis did is un-American and undemocratic ... He doesn’t care about democracy and overturned the will of the voters. ... This is all about political retribution for not firing Superintendent Runcie. It’s about blaming the Superintendent, and any School Board Members who supported him, for the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting. Governor DeSantis impaneled a Grand Jury, under the guise of school safety, as a pretext to remove School Board Members who did not fire the former Superintendent. Do future Board Members need to pre-clear their votes with DeSantis? Could future Democratic Governors now remove locally elected Republicans?”[12]

Public participation in board meetings

The Broward County Public Schools school board maintains the following policy on public testimony during board meetings:[14]

“

IV. Public Participation

VI. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

A. The public may participate during School Board meetings, as follows:
1. The public may speak a total of fifteen (15) minutes during any single meeting, not including committee reports.
2. Public Speaking at Regular School Board Meeting during general business:
a. There shall be a maximum of ten (10)speakers or 30 minutes reserved on each RSBM agenda for public speakers. This time shall be known as the Public Speakers section. This section of the agenda shall provide an opportunity for any member of the public to reserve time to address The School Board regarding matters of relevance to public education. Speakers should not engage in discussion regarding issues that are currently in litigation or a quasi-judicial action. Persons desiring to make a presentation as a public speaker shall contact the Superintendent’s office at least five (5) calendar days prior to the School Board meeting. This will enable the School District to place the public speaker and their topic on the School Board agenda and conduct an administrative review of the topic in advance of the meeting. Those persons who have not contacted the Superintendent at least five (5) calendar days in advance but who wish to address The School Board on topics pertaining to the School District shall be placed on a waiting list if time permits during the 30 minute-time period or may be heard at the end of the School Board meeting at the discretion of the Chair. School Board Members will not engage in dialogue with the speakers. No action shall be taken on a speaker’s topic unless otherwise indicated on the agenda.
b. At this time, a member of the public who has registered to speak is allowed, and not to exceed, a total of three (3) minutes to speak to non-agenda item issues that pertain to the general business or operations of The School Board or District. However, a registered speaker may request that they be permitted to yield their time to a designated registered speaker. Speakers must be present at the meeting at the time of the request to yield their time. The yielded time will be pooled for a maximum of six (6) minutes for the designated speaker. The speaker is allocated only one opportunity to speak during this time.
3. Public Comments on Agenda Items at Regular School Board Meetings; Public Hearings or School Board Workshops:
a. A member of the public is allowed to speak for three (3) minutes on any agenda item that is on the floor at any RSBM, Public Hearings or School Board Workshop.
b. Speakers may request that they be permitted to yield their time to a designated registered speaker. Speakers must be present at the meeting at the time of the request to yield their time. The yielded time will be pooled for a maximum of six (6) minutes for the designated speaker. Speakers may not split their time and only yield a portion of it to a designated speaker. The speaker is allocated only one opportunity to speak during this time.
c. Comments by the public on an agenda item that is on the floor must pertain to the specific topic and/or issue contained in the agenda item. Speakers on agenda items may not use their time to speak on issues that are tangential or only slightly connected to the agenda item.
d. The School Board Chair, at their discretion, may notify and warn speakers at such time the speakers comments: have gone beyond the subject matter of the agenda item on the floor and for which they had signed up to address; are addressing matters that are not related to the business of The School Board; or otherwise violate this policy. Speakers are asked to demonstrate proper decorum and model the District’s eight-character traits: cooperation, responsibility, citizenship, kindness, respect, honesty, self-control, and tolerance. Speakers shall refrain from obscene or vulgar conduct, slanderous remarks, or statements that tend to incite violence or the breach of the peace. ::e. In order to address items on the consent portion of a RSBM agenda, a member of the public may simply ask to address The School Board prior to the vote being taken on the consent agenda or they may request that such item be pulled and placed on the open agenda when the Chair is entertaining pulls from the consent agenda.
B. Written Comments:
1. For RSBM and SSBM, the public may submit written comments to the Supervisor of the Office of Official School Board Records, 600 Southeast Third Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301 or by email to Publiccomment@browardschools.com not later that two (2) hours in advanced of the published time of the School Board meeting for both agenda items and general matters. Anonymous comments will not be accepted; therefore, written comments must include the person’s name and address. Written comments should be a maximum of 400 words, which is approximately three (3) minutes when read aloud.
2. For Board Workshops, the public may submit written comments by going to The School Board’s website, www.browardschools.com, and on the home page click on the labeled icon for the workshop in “Headlines and Happenings.”
3. All written comments will be attached to meeting minutes or workshop summaries.
C. Speakers at Workshops, Regular and Special School Board meetings are allowed to speak only on items on the agenda either before or after each item at the discretion of the Chair. In the event that twenty (20) or more speakers express a desire to speak on any given agenda item, the Chair may reduce each individual speakers time limit or set the maximum time available for all speakers.
D. No public comments will be permitted when The School Board is participating in a Board Training or acts in its quasi-judicial function, such as during bid protests, or employee discipline proceedings pursuant to Florida Statute, Chapter 120.
E. Speakers shall not engage in political campaigning, including making statements regarding any candidacy, wearing of buttons, or items of clothing that could constitute political activity.
F. Public Speakers shall not engage in solicitation or discussion on pending litigation. Lobbying must comport with the rules set forth in School Board Policy 1100B.
G. Speakers shall identify themselves by stating their name, otherwise the Chair shall request that each member of the public addressing The School Board first state their name and include their address, if at a Boundary Hearing, for the record.
H. District committee reports will be placed on the agenda at an appropriate time, prior to the public speakers. In the event the committee representative is not available to give a morning report, they shall ask the Chair to allow them to speak in the afternoon. Committee Chairs may give reports via media technology under extraordinary circumstance. The committee representative giving the report shall limit their remarks to the official position of the committee as set forth in the report and shall be limited to five (5) minutes in duration unless extended at the Chair’s discretion. The representative shall refrain from making any personal observations or comments during this time. Any such personal remarks would have to be made by the speaker during an opportunity for public comment.
I. Speakers’ remarks should be directed to the presiding officer or The School Board as whole and not to individual School Board Members. Otherwise, the speaker may be ruled out of order and asked to yield the podium. School Board Members will not engage in dialogue with speakers.
J. Speakers may not refuse to yield the podium when the Chair has advised that their time has expired.[15]

Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements.[20]
