As we begin a new academic year, we want to ensure that every family in our district is informed and empowered. The Florida Department of Education has released a letter from Anastasios Kamoutsas, Commissioner of Education, highlighting the importance of parental involvement in education and reaffirming the rights of parents under Florida law.
This letter outlines key elements of the Parents’ Bill of Rights, including your role in guiding your child’s education, access to instructional materials, and protections related to health, safety, and privacy. It serves as a reminder that your voice matters and that your partnership is essential to student success.
To support your understanding of these rights, our school district has a dedicated webpage that explains each element in more detail. You can access it here: Parental Rights Information – St Lucie Public Schools
We encourage all parents and guardians to read the letter and explore the resources available. Together, we can make the 2025–2026 school year a strong and successful one for every student.
