Florida is the first state to issue a joint system response to @EDSecMcMahon's National Call to Action with all 28 Florida College System Presidents and 12 State University System Presidents affirming their commitment to academic and operational excellence.
Across Florida, our colleges and universities are dedicated to upholding rigorous academic standards, protecting free expression and open inquiry, keeping higher education affordable, and preparing students for meaningful careers, citizenship and service to our nation.

Thank you to @EducationFL State Board of Education Chair @RPetty for sharing his powerful message with LSSC educators during this week's campus safety training. Through his leadership and advocacy, Florida has become a national leader in threat assessment and school safety.
We're also grateful for the leadership of AVP of Campus Safety, Darren Norris, whose work at both the @EducationFL and now at LSSC continues to strengthen safety efforts across our own campuses and throughout the Florida College System.
Following the unimaginable loss of his daughter, Alaina, in the Parkland tragedy, @RPetty has dedicated himself to strengthening school safety across Florida. Florida has become a national model for threat assessment, prevention, and emergency preparedness.

Having guardians in schools is one of the most effective ways to ensure highly trained personnel are in place to respond to an active assailant.
HB 757 extends the guardian program to postsecondary institutions, ensuring students have access to safe and secure learning environments.
Thank you @michellesalzman and Senator Don Gaetz for leading this important effort to strengthen school safety at Florida’s colleges and universities.
