The 2022 November election changed the makeup of Brevard’s school board from a mix of party affiliations to almost entirely conservative save for one member: Jennifer Jenkins.

Megan Wright, one of the three members elected, was backed by Gov. Ron DeSantis. Both she and Gene Trent were also endorsed by Moms for Liberty, a national conservative parents group founded in Brevard County.

This week, DeSantis announced the creation of a target list for 2024 to remove the last remaining liberal-leaning members on school boards around the state. Jenkins was on the list.

Jenkins, who ran against and beat then-school board member Tina Descovich in the 2020 election for the District 3 school board seat, has said publicly she would serve only one term. However, DeSantis’ announcement has her “toying” with the idea of running again, she said.

“I just think what an example I can show my daughter of, you know what? Forget it. You want to come at me? I’ll fight you right back,” she said.

1. DeSantis is following orders from billionaire conservative donors who want to destroy PUBLIC ed.

What does he care about the students--less than he cared about the thousands of Florida COVID deaths. His agenda is his own damn power and nothing else.
