DeSantis reappoints Broward School Board member who led effort to fire superintendent

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In yet another twist in the Broward School Board, Gov. Ron DeSantis Thursday appointed Daniel Foganholi to the Board’s District 1 seat, the same board member who led the effort in November to fire the superintendent in a late-night move on the day before he left office.

Foganholi is replacing Rodney “Rod” Velez, whom voters elected Nov. 8 but can’t hold office because of his former criminal conviction. To run for office, a convicted felon has to have his or her civil rights restored, which Velez had not done before the election.

Foganholi’s appointment is effective Thursday, Dec. 22, per DeSantis’ executive order, although he won’t be sworn into office until Jan. 18.

Velez, a real-estate property manager for Continental Fidelity Corp., didn’t respond to multiple requests for comment Thursday from the Herald.

DeSantis likes to double down on incompetence.

1. May be another effort to dismantle PUBLIC education in FL, to push for charter/private schools--

which will suck up tax payer dollars and shape curriculum to suit conservative donors. School board elections matter more than ever now.
