A suspended Panhandle schools superintendent stripped from her post by Gov. Ron DeSantis is asking the Florida Supreme Court to weigh in on the issue.

Shortly after taking office in January, DeSantis suspended Okaloosa County Superintendent of Schools Mary Beth Jackson, citing “scathing” grand jury reports that alleged “dereliction of duty” by Jackson. Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran, a former House speaker, recommended that DeSantis suspend Jackson.
