Summary
A scheduled speaker at the St. Lucie school board meeting urged attendees to focus on local schools and support educators, warning against letting state or national politics undermine district staff and students.
During the scheduled public-comment period, a speaker identified in the transcript as Miss Thanos used her allotted three minutes to praise district staff and urge the community to resist outside political pressures.
She thanked teachers, paraprofessionals, bus drivers, custodians, nurses, counselors and administrators for their work and described teaching and nursing as professional fields that require training and deserve respect. She said outside political noise from Tallahassee and Washington should not diminish local schools and urged the community to stand together for students.
Her remarks emphasized community values and a call to keep public education focused on students’ needs rather than political dispute. No formal board action followed her comments before the meeting adjourned.
