Today, Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation to enable schools to host chaplain programs
Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday signed a measure that will authorize school districts to allow volunteer school chaplains to provide services to students, amid opposition from the American Civil Liberties Union.
The kids are NOT okay. It’s an issue that’s dominated conversations in the Florida legislature this year as lawmakers seek a myriad of ways to address growing mental health concerns around children.

The Florida House on Thursday passed a measure that would allow school districts to authorize volunteer chaplains to provide “support, services and programs” to students in public schools, amid a debate about whether the bill would be constitutional.
A tax package that began moving forward Tuesday in the Senate and a revised tax proposal in the House could provide some assistance to homeowners with property insurance costs.
