Amendment 1 opponents run Spanish radio ad warning Miami voters about partisan School Board races

Listeners tuning into Actualidad Radio in Miami are hearing a new ad warning them against letting partisan politics seep further into School Board races.

The 35-second Spanish-language spot urges a “no” vote on Amendment 1. If approved by 60% of voters this year, the measure would make School Board elections across Florida partisan beginning in 2026.

It features a conversation between three mothers discussing how just over half of the state’s third graders are reading at grade level, a troubling statistic the group that made the ad buy blames on Tallahassee intrusion of classrooms.

“As students, we are tired of partisan politics being injected into our schools while teachers are underpaid and schools are under-resourced,” a voiceover in the ad says.
