DeSantis appoints Osceola school board candidate weeks before election

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday appointed one of the four candidates vying for an open seat on the Osceola County School Board to the position they all hope to occupy this fall.

William “Scott” Ramsey will serve at just two school board meetings this summer before the Aug. 20 election that could determine if he retains the seat.

“I was excited,” he said of his appointment. “To have the trust of the governor to serve on the school board is an honor.”

The seat has been open for more than six months since former board member Erika Booth resigned to run for a spot in the Florida House.
