After being suspended by Florid Governor Ron DeSantis, Okaloosa County Superintendent of Schools Mary Beth Jackson, has requested a formal hearing from the Florida Senate to challenge the suspension. Senate President Bill Galvano has the discretion to assign the case to a committee or to a special master. Jackson’s attorney, George Levesque, said Jackson is asking for a special master and that Jackson is disputing all of the allegations contained in DeSantis’ executive order. The governor pointed to grand jury findings that were critical of Jackson as one of the factors in his decision to suspend her.
