BOCA RATON, Fla. — Conservative education advocate Erika Donalds brought her “End the Department of Education” tour to Boca Raton, promoting school choice and a plan to dismantle the federal agency — a key part of former President Donald Trump’s education agenda.

Donalds, a former Florida school board member and CEO of a charter school management company, urged parents to embrace what she called the “education freedom generation.”

“That is going to increase access and innovation across the board — just like it does in every other industry in America,” she said.

As head of a conservative education group and wife of Congressman Byron Donalds — a Trump-endorsed gubernatorial candidate — she could soon have major influence over Florida’s education policy, continuing the state’s push for less government control and more parental choice.
