Florida Families Deserve Time to Review.
Florida is considering major changes to the K–12 science standards that shape what students learn in classrooms across our state.
The Florida Department of Education released a second round of proposed standards on October 26, leaving families with very little time to review the updated documents before the public comment period ended.
Parents deserve more than a rushed review process.
We are calling on the Florida State Board of Education to:
1. Postpone the final vote on the proposed science standards.
2. Extend and reopen the public comment period so families and educators can review the latest revisions.
3. Provide additional opportunities for public input, including accessible virtual sessions.
4. Publish a clear summary of changes and public feedback before bringing the standards forward for adoption.
These standards will shape science education for years to come. Families, educators, and communities deserve a meaningful voice in the process.
Review the proposed standards and share your perspective with the Florida State Board of Education.
Our students deserve a thoughtful process. Don’t rush the vote. Families for Strong Public Schools.
