- Representative Johanna Lopez And Senator Mack Bernard File Legislation To End Corporal Punishment In Florida’s Public Schools | sun-times
Representative Johanna Lopez And Senator Mack Bernard File Legislation To End Corporal Punishment In Florida’s Public Schools South Florida Sun Times Dec 17, 2025 Representative Johanna Lopez (D-Orlando) And Senator Mack Bernard (D-West Palm Beach) Have Filed House Bill 109 And Senate Bill 662, To Prohibit The Use Of Corporal Punishment In Florida’s Public Schools. The Legislation Seeks To Modernize The State’s Approach To Student Discipline And Ensure That All Students, Regardless Of Background, Ability, Or ZIP Code, Learn In A Safe And Supportive Environment. Florida is one of 17 states that still allow corporal punishment in public schools, a practice defined in law as the “moderate use of physical force or physical contact” to enforce school rules. Although once common nationwide, school corporal punishment has fallen sharply out of favor as research increasingly shows it is ineffective, counterproductive, and potentially harmful. Despite this, 19 school districts in Florida still authorize it, and in the 2023–2024 school year, the Florida Department of Education recorded 516 incidents. Additional records show that the vast majority of these incidents, 84% between 2018 and 2022, stemmed from minor or subjective behaviors such as “inappropriate language” or classroom disruption, rather than violence or danger. Many of the same students are punished repeatedly, reinforcing long-term negative outcomes rather than improving conduct. Students with disabilities experience corporal punishment at disproportionately high rates. During the 2023–2024 school year, roughly 40% of all reported instances involved students covered under IDEA or the Rehabilitation Act, despite these students making up roughly 20–22% of their districts’ populations. Decades of research show that corporal punishment is associated with lower academic achievement, higher absenteeism, increased dropout rates, and greater risk of Mental Health challenges. Studies have also linked physical punishment to atypical brain functioning similar to the effects of more severe trauma. Meanwhile, some school districts that have eliminated corporal punishment have not experienced increases in Behavioral Issues. Evidence-based alternatives, including restorative practices and positive behavioral interventions, have proven far more effective at improving student outcomes. Moreover, corporal punishment is prohibited in settings such as prisons and the military due to its potential for abuse and its failure to support rehabilitation or positive behavioral change. “As a former educator and as a mother, I know firsthand that violence has no place in our classrooms. This bill is about protecting our children’s dignity, their safety, and their right to learn without fear. Corporal punishment is not discipline; it is harm. Florida’s students deserve support, guidance, and evidence-based practices that help them thrive, not methods that traumatize them. With this bill, we take a stand for compassion, for modern education, and for every child’s future,” said Representative Lopez. “The use of corporal punishment is inconsistent with the school's goals of promoting honesty, responsibility, and self-discipline. Studies show a significant relationship between corporal punishment as a child and future violent behavior. Violence begets violence,” said Senator Bernard. HB 109 and SB 662 remove all statutory language in Sections 1002.20, 1003.32, 1006.07, and 1012.28 Florida Statutes, that authorizes corporal punishment, and prohibits its use in public schools statewide beginning July 1, 2026. The legislation brings Florida in line with a growing number of states which have adopted bipartisan reforms to protect students, particularly students with disabilities. If enacted, these bills would take effect on July 1, 2026. Senator Mack Bernard (D-West Palm Beach) Representative Johanna López (D-Orlando) Florida is one of 17 states that still allow corporal punishment in public schools, a practice defined in law as the “moderate use of physical force or physical contact” to enforce school rules.

- Davie, Cooper City, And Southwest Ranches Girl Scouts Earn Coveted Gold Award | sun-times
Davie, Cooper City, And Southwest Ranches Girl Scouts Earn Coveted Gold Award South Florida Sun Times Aug 20, 2025 Davie Residents Claire-Anya Likhachyov And Mia Medrano, Cooper City Residents Ellen Huang And Lauren Rinella, And Southwest Ranches Resident Kylin Reynolds Have Each Earned The Coveted Girl Scout Gold Award, The Highest And Most Prestigious Recognition Attainable By Girl Scout Seniors And Ambassadors In Grades Nine Through 12. This Award Highlights The Creative And Impactful Projects These Young Changemakers Have Developed To Address Real-World Challenges In Their Communities. Claire-Anya Likhachyov, Davie For her project, Claire-Anya Likhachyov founded “STEM MENTORS CLUB,” a club at her high school that connects younger students with older peers who provide guidance, encouragement and academic help. According to the State of the Florida Girl report, fewer girls are entering STEM fields, although women make up 52% of Florida’s college-educated population, only 32% pursue careers in science or engineering, underscoring the need to spark interest early. The group offered free math tutoring, organized engaging educational events and developed a virtual career symposium featuring professionals from various technical fields. By sharing their experiences, the high school mentors helped younger students build perseverance and confidence. She also developed Girls Can STEM,” a virtual STEM symposium for girls that addressed the underrepresentation of women in fields requiring strong math and science skills. She recognized that a lack of female role models and early support often leads to decreased interest and confidence in these subjects. To ensure the longevity of her project, Likhachyov successfully established STEM MENTORS as a SWENext (Society of Women Engineers) charter club, giving future members access to valuable resources and networking opportunities. Mia Medrano, Davie Mia Medrano combined her love for the environment and passion for education with her Gold Award project “Managing Mangroves,” to raise awareness about the critical role mangroves play in Florida’s ecosystem and the threats they face. She explored the impacts of climate change, coastal development and pollution on mangrove habitats, highlighting how their destruction not only harms the environment but also disrupts marine life and the health of local waterways. To bring the issue to life, Medrano filmed herself paddleboarding through local waterways, collecting trash and showing firsthand the damage caused by human impact. Her engaging videos explained how small, everyday actions, such as properly disposing of waste, can help preserve these vital ecosystems. She amplified her message into an accessible, ongoing educational resource for the public through a dedicated YouTube channel, MangroLife, Medrano continues to inform, educate and engage future volunteers and promote environmental stewardship. Ellen Huang, Cooper City Ellen Huang’s Gold Award project, “Eco Crafts Campaign: A Sustainable Future,” tackled the growing issue of food waste and its environmental impact. She recognized the need to educate others about the consequences of food waste and encourage more sustainable habits. Acknowledging how discarded food contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, pollution and rising food costs, Huang launched an educational campaign that included interactive workshops for children and a digital platform for teens and adults. She hosted workshops at Hawkes Bluff Elementary School and Camp Live Oak, where children learned about food waste and participated in hands-on crafts designed to reduce waste, including making reusable grocery bags, fabric food storage covers and egg carton vegetable gardens. For a broader audience, Huang created a website and social media page, @ecocraftscampaign, which provided information on food waste, sustainable habits and DIY tutorials for repurposing everyday items. Through her campaign, she educated others on meal planning, composting, proper food storage and other practical steps to minimize food waste. Lauren Rinella, Cooper City The loss of her troop leader to Cancer due to a late diagnosis led Lauren Rinella to her project, “BeYOUtifully Aware: Women’s Health & Cancer Prevention” to empower teenage girls and young women with crucial knowledge about women’s health, focusing on cancer prevention, early detection and the importance of regular health screenings. She hosted virtual workshops led by professionals in oncology, OB/GYN and nutrition, where participants learned about self-breast exams, mammogram guidelines and early warning signs of cancer. The sessions also introduced attendees to careers in the medical field, inspiring future paths in healthcare. The impact was measurable: participants’ knowledge of self-breast exams rose by 81.8%, understanding of mammogram screenings by 85.7% and confidence in health advocacy by 57.2%. To extend the reach of her project, Rinella launched a YouTube channel and encouraged attendees to share what they learned with others, multiplying the impact. In recognition of her work, Rinella was also awarded with the $2,500 Gina Rose Montalto Memorial Scholarship during the awards ceremony. Kylin Reynolds, Southwest Ranches Kylin Reynolds’s project “Let’s Get Physical! Promoting Healthy Lives and Well-Being,” tackled the growing issue of youth inactivity by using the power of storytelling to encourage children to embrace movement as a fun and rewarding part of daily life. Aware of the physical and mental health consequences of sedentary lifestyles, such as poor muscle and bone development, increased obesity risk and lower academic performance, Reynolds wrote a children’s book featuring short stories about kids discovering the benefits of physical activity. She collaborated with a fellow Girl Scout to illustrate the book and worked with students to record audiobook versions, making her stories widely accessible on YouTube and Instagram. Initially aiming to reach 75 students, she quickly surpassed that goal, engaging nearly 200 students in just one month through partnerships with schools and youth organizations. Survey feedback revealed that 98% of participants learned something new about physical activity and many expressed excitement about finding new ways to get moving. To ensure her project’s continued impact, Reynolds donated books to school libraries and classrooms, and her online resources remain available for future readers. In recognition of her leadership and community impact, Reynold was honored with the $3,000 ECHO Scholarship during the awards ceremony. “We are so proud of all of our Gold Award Girl Scouts whose projects are insightful, impactful and relevant,” said Lisa Johnson, CEO of Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida. “With their projects, these young ladies tackle some of today’s most pressing challenges with compassion, innovation, and leadership. They are change agents that are making a true impact in their communities and beyond.” These Girl Scouts were among 27 young female leaders in the region to earn the Gold Award during the 2025 Annual Gold Award Ceremony, with sponsorship support from Amazon, Fiserv, Florida Power & Light, Great Charity Challenge, HCA Florida Healthcare, and Publix Super Market Charities. About Girl Scouts The preeminent leadership development organization for girls, Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida provides a safe, supportive environment for girls to learn, lead and thrive, surrounded by a supportive network of peers and caring adult mentors.

- Complete Series: State of the City of Hallandale Beach | sun-times
Complete Series: State of the City of Hallandale Beach By Hallandale Beach Mayor, Joy Cooper Jul 30, 2025 Dr. Earle hired Dr. Chan to serve as the Head of our newly created Transportation and Mobility Department with the sole focus on solutions. This is not just my priority but a shared priority of the entire commission. We need to get projects done that improve travel throughout our city. To understand the complexity of traffic you need to understand who controls what. Hallandale Beach Boulevard, Pembroke Road and A1A are all FDOT controlled Roads. Broward County has an agreement to make improvements and maintain signalizations and transit. Dixie Corridor is a mix of State County and city. The railroad system is privately owned. We own and are responsible for the side neighborhood streets. All fall under the Uniform Traffic Standards. So, any improvement must go through multiple agencies. Not an easy system to navigate. The biggest impact on traffic flow is management and signalization. Broward County has promised and by the end of this year the signalization project is to be completed. The question is who will be monitoring it, on the county’s end? They have limited staffing at their traffic center. We are going to ask the county to allow us to take over monitoring and control. We hope there is a willingness on the county's side to partner. This means when we are backed up, we will not have to wait for them to change signal timing. What else can be done? Our current plan does include completing road extensions like Diana Drive and NW 3rd. I have been floating an idea to create a road over the 14th Avenue Canal from 14th to 215th in Aventura. This could take trips off Hallandale Beach Boulevard and US 1. What else can be done? Added transit and micro transit. We have successfully expanded our Free Cloud Minibus with funding partnerships from the state, county and federal governments. In the Mirco transit realm we have a great program that has been expanded city wide. It will help get cars off the road while supporting our local restaurants. You can sign up to receive a free $10 Uber trip voucher from anywhere in our city to restaurants in District 8, Mardi Gras, Atlantic Village and Gulfstream. You can leave the driving to us and enjoy some time out supporting our local economy, So that was the look, but I just skimmed the top. We continue under the leadership of the dedicated and civil commission, an amazing professional City Manager Dr Earle and an amazing team of employees that work tirelessly to make our city even better! I wish you all continued success! God bless you our city and Nation. As always, I am available anytime for your questions, concerns, and ideas to make our city a better place at phone/text 954-632-5700 or you can email me at jcooper@cohb.org.

- What Property Tax Reform Could Mean For The Community | sun-times
What Property Tax Reform Could Mean For The Community By City of Hollywood Feb 25, 2026 Proposals under discussion in Tallahassee could significantly change Florida’s Property Tax System. If approved by the Legislature and placed on the ballot, voters may ultimately decide whether to reduce or eliminate certain Property Taxes. So what would that mean at the local level? Property taxes are one of the primary sources of funding for municipal services across Florida. In the City of Hollywood, Property Tax Revenue helps fund essential, day-to-day operations such as Police and Fire Rescue Services, Emergency Response and the Maintenance and Improvement of Parks, Roadways, Stormwater Systems, and other critical Infrastructure that residents rely on each day. In the current fiscal year, approximately 46% of the City of Hollywood’s General Fund Revenue comes from Property Taxes. Public safety represents the largest share of the City’s operating budget. Roughly two-thirds of the general fund is dedicated to public safety services. These services rely heavily on Property Tax Revenue to maintain staffing, equipment, vehicles and training. Florida voters previously approved the Save Our Homes amendment, which caps annual increases in assessed value for homesteaded properties at 3 percent or the Consumer Price Index, whichever is lower. This provision has helped limit rapid increases in taxable value for full-time homeowners. If Property Taxes were substantially reduced or eliminated, the revenue that currently supports municipal services would need to be replaced, or service levels would need to be adjusted accordingly. Possible alternatives could include higher sales or other taxes that are directed to state or federal budgets — not governed by your City. Property Tax Reform could also result in new or increased local fees, as well as reductions to programs and services residents have come to expect. As discussions move forward at the state level, residents are encouraged to stay informed and review official ballot language if amendments are placed before voters. Understanding how cities such as Hollywood are funded provides important context when evaluating potential changes to Florida’s tax structure.

- Awareness Is Key: 3 Steps To Help Recognize Stroke Signs And Risks For Better Outcomes | sun-times
Awareness Is Key: 3 Steps To Help Recognize Stroke Signs And Risks For Better Outcomes By Feature Impact May 21, 2026 A Stroke Can Happen To Anyone At Any Age. In Fact, Every 40 Seconds Someone In The United States Has A Stroke, With Approximately 800,000 People Experiencing A Stroke Annually, According To The American Heart Association, Making It A Leading Cause Of Death And Serious, Long-Term Disability. A Stroke happens when normal blood flow in the brain is interrupted. When parts of the brain don’t get the oxygen-rich blood they need, those cells die. However, many Strokes may be prevented, treated and overcome by understanding the risk factors and taking steps toward managing them. “When a Stroke happens, every minute matters,” said Dr. Adrian Jaquin-Valdivia, a Stroke Neurologist at HCA Healthcare and American Stroke Association volunteer expert. “The faster someone gets treatment, the better the chance of saving Brain Function. On average, nearly 2 million brain cells die every minute a Stroke goes untreated. Early treatment improves survival rates and reduces disability.” Take control of your brain health with this information from the American Stroke Association. Know the Warning Signs Because Strokes do not discriminate, knowing the signs is key. To help you recognize common warning signs and symptoms of stroke and take action in moments that matter, remember this simple acronym: B.E. F.A.S.T. B: Balance loss – sudden difficulty with walking, dizziness or loss of balance or coordination. E: Eye (or vision) changes – sudden vision loss or trouble seeing in one or both eyes. F: Face drooping – one side of the face droops or feels numb; a smile may look uneven. A: Arm weakness – one arm feels weak or numb or drifts downward when raised. S: Speech difficulty – a telltale sign of a stroke is slurred speech or trouble speaking. T: Time to call 911 – If someone is having any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call emergency services immediately to jumpstart care. Be sure to check the time so you'll know when the first symptoms started. Explore the signs by playing the interactive, web-based B.E. F.A.S.T. Experience to see what Stroke symptoms may look, feel and sound like. Take Steps to Protect Your Health Approximately 80% of Strokes are preventable, according to the American Stroke Association. Everyday choices – such as eating well, moving more, not smoking and keeping up with routine health screenings, along with managing risk factors with the support of a health care professional – can help lower Stroke risk. Manage Risk Factors High Blood Pressure is the leading risk factor for Stroke, according to the 2025 American Heart Association/ACC Guideline for the Management of High Blood Pressure in Adults. Controlling Blood Pressure through regular checkups, at-home monitoring, following your treatment plan and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can significantly reduce your risk of Stroke and support overall brain health. Additionally, having a Stroke or a Mini-Stroke, known as a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), increases the chances of having a second one. That’s why identifying what caused your Stroke and reducing your personal risk factors can help protect your health and reduce the risk of another Stroke. To learn more about Stroke risk factors and better understand the warning signs, visit: www.Stroke.org/StrokeMonth , where you can also access stroke support services and subscribe to the Stroke Connection e-newsletter for the latest resources.
