Just what we need during a pandemic, a Jeb Bush siting



Mr. G for District 3: Chris Guerrieri's Education Matters: Superintendent Greene, the pandemic won't last but you losing the confidence of your staff probably will - https://jaxkidsmatter.blogspot.com/2020/08/superintendent-greene-pandemic-wont.html

Jeb Bush pushes vouchers for unregulated private schools.
