School Board Candidates on the Challenges and Opportunities of the 2024 Education Legislation
Challenges and Opportunities in the School System
SB1 candidate Matthew Lane
SB1 candidate Page Lewis
SB5 candidate Mike Letsky
SB5 candidate Suzanne Page
SB5 candidate Gloria Branch
At least until November, when ballot amendment one will decide if they remain that way, the School Board races are non-partisan. The candidates who are registered as Republicans tend to let you know that by advertising in the wire and appearing at clubs and the REC, and we have asked them to participate in our forum on July 23rd.
In district one, the far north part of the county and heavily Republican (R+17), Matthew Lane and Page Lewis are facing Democrat Francesca Wernisch.
In district five, which is the far south part of the county mostly south of Clint Moore Road and evenly divided (R+0), Gloria Branch, Suzanne Page and Mike Letsky will face off against Democrats Mindy Koch and Charman Postel.
In both districts, all the Republican candidates have agreed to join us.
If no candidate receives a majority of the votes in August, a run-off with the top 2 will appear on the November ballot.
Besides hearing the candidates present their value proposition – why they are the best choice, we have asked them to comment on some of the legislation passed this year that affects K-12 education. That includes for example, a focus on courses supporting the building trades (HB917), the introduction of chaplains (HB931) and presentations by patriotic organizations (HB1317) and the teaching of the history of Communism in the curriculum (SB1264). There were also enhancements to school choice (HB1403) and the school guardian program (HB1473), and the use of Artificial Intelligence to improve classroom effectiveness (HB1361). We would also like to hear their views on Amendment one which would make their races partisan.
We will also be awarding our 2024 Anne Roberts Scholarships at this meeting.
Please join us for what should be an interesting event!

Mel K is a devoted lover of truth, facts, history, God, and America. After growing up in a tight-knit family outside of Philadelphia, Mel graduated with honors from New York University with concentrations in journalism and film.
Mel went on to spend 20 years working in film, television, and investigative journalism in Hollywood before moving back to New York City to focus full time on The Mel K Show, where she exposes the truth and explores our hidden history.
The Mel K Show is laser-focused on educating and informing the public about the malevolent, geopolitical forces that are hell-bent on achieving their goal of ending nation-states and self-determination of free peoples for top-down global governance. Through strategic alignments with deceptively named associations and non-governmental organizations, these globalists seek to replace life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness with surveillance, compliance, conformity, and control.

Talk Show Host Joyce Kaufman to be December Speaker
Talk Show Host Joyce Kaufman
With the coming elections the most important of our lifetime (this time for sure!!), who better than Joyce Kaufman to make sense of it all. A fixture in South Florida’s radio talk show scene for many years, Joyce knows how to weed out the political BS and reveal the truth of our current situation.

Joyce Kaufman has been a fixture on South Florida radio for over 18 years without interruption. She started in the market on the original WFTL, 1400AM. Joyce has gained a very loyal following over the years, likely because she knows the difference between right and wrong and has no problem telling you.
Joyce considers herself fiercely independent and is not ashamed of putting America first, like real liberals used to and our weak-kneed politicians and some so-called conservatives claim to.
She has been evolving into an outspoken critic of the “new-left” who she believes view America as a failed state populated with a helpless, ignorant people in need of reeducation and government rescue. She is also sick and tired of those in power who are afraid to stand up for our nation’s Judeo-Christian values and the values of those who through their faith seek only to better themselves and their fellow man.
Joyce still finds America to be the greatest country on earth! She not only supports our troops, she reveres them. She’s also a registered Independent so if you’re looking for a partisan cheerleader, call the Miami Heat Dancers.
Passionate, spiritual, yet angry at times, Joyce also knows how to make an audience laugh. But don’t mess with her. She knows some Krav Maga, carries a .357 magnum (she’s a big supporter of the second amendment) and has a BIG mouth.
So if you can think out of the box, refuse to be labeled and want to debate the issues, The Joyce Kaufman Show is for you!
Listen for her show weekdays from 3-4pm on News-Talk 850 WFTL. You can email her at joycekaufman@hubbardradio.com.

Commissioner Sara Baxter and Sid Dinerstein at December Lunch
County Commissioner Sara Baxter
and
Sid Dinerstein
The Red Wave was alive and well in Florida this past election. Not only did the Governor and Cabinet actually win Palm Beach County, but there are now 3 Republican County Commissioners (out of 7) where there had been only one. Congratulations to Commissioners Sara Baxter (CD6) and Marcie Woodward (CD4) who beat the odds.
Sara will tell us how she prevailed in her D+7 district in spite of being considerably outspent and out endorsed by a Democrat favorite.
For the larger perspective on the election just past we will hear from past county chairman Sid Dinerstein.
And to get in the proper mood for the holiday season, we will have a little music from vocalist Bobby Fonseca (Uncle Eddie’s, Eau Palm Beach, Johnny Longboats, …..)
