佛罗里达州紫星学校突破540所：94所新认定、三个学区新获紫星学区称号
佛罗里达州教育部11月11日在位于佛罗里达州 Leon County 的州府 Tallahassee 宣布，全州获得「紫星学校」（Purple Star School of Distinction）认定的学校已超过540所，其中94所为今年新认定、69所续期成功，另有三个学区新获「紫星学区」认定，全州紫星学区总数达到9个。教育部选在退伍军人日公布这批名单，表彰这些学校对军人家庭学生的支持。
新认定的三个紫星学区是 Clay County 学校、Escambia County 学校与 Flagler County 学校，它们加入此前已获认定的 Bay、Brevard、Citrus、Okaloosa、Santa Rosa 五个学区与 Florida Virtual School。学区级认定于2024年设立，一个学区须有至少75%的学校先获得紫星学校认定，才有资格获评紫星学区。
今年新认定与续期的学校共163所，构成了2026至2029届紫星学校，认定有效期为三年。佛罗里达州教育厅长 Henry Mack 表示，获认定的学校与学区证明了它们对军人家庭学生的重视，让这些学生感到受欢迎、得到支持，并能做好成功的准备。
紫星学校项目由佛罗里达州议会于2021年设立，首届只有124所学校获认定，如今已增至540多所。要获得认定，学校必须指定一名军人家庭联络员作为与军人家庭对接的中心联系人，维护一个为军人学生与家庭提供学业规划、转学衔接与教育机会信息的专页，开设由学生主导的转学帮扶项目，为教职员工提供识别与回应军人家庭需求的专业培训，并为军人家庭学生预留5%的开放招生名额。
学校还须另外开展至少三项支持军人家庭的活动，例如把学校与军人社区连接起来的社区服务项目、一年一度的军人表彰活动，或开设初级后备军官训练团（JROTC）项目。佛罗里达州教育部表示，全部紫星学校名单与加入办法已在其官网紫星项目页面公布。（来源：佛罗里达州教育部）
Florida Purple Star Schools Top 540: 94 Newly Designated and Three New Purple Star Districts
The Florida Department of Education announced on November 11 in Tallahassee, the state capital in Leon County, Florida, that more than 540 schools statewide have now earned the Purple Star School of Distinction designation, including 94 newly designated schools and 69 renewals, while three more school districts have earned the Purple Star School District designation, bringing the statewide total to nine districts. The department released the list on Veterans Day to recognize the schools' commitment to military-connected students and families.
The three newly designated Purple Star districts are Clay County Schools, Escambia County Schools and Flagler County Schools, joining Bay, Brevard, Citrus, Okaloosa and Santa Rosa counties and Florida Virtual School, which had earned the designation earlier. The district-level program was established in 2024, and a district qualifies only when at least 75 percent of its schools hold the Purple Star School of Distinction designation.
The 94 new and 69 renewed schools together form the 2026-2029 cohort of 163 schools, and the designation is valid for three years. Commissioner of Education Henry Mack said the schools and districts earning the designation have demonstrated a commitment to recognizing the unique experiences of military-connected students and ensuring they feel welcomed, supported and ready to succeed academically and personally.
The Purple Star program was established by the Florida Legislature in 2021 and began with 124 schools; it has since grown to more than 540 designated schools statewide. To earn the designation, a school must name a military point of contact to serve as the central liaison for military families, maintain a dedicated webpage with resources on academic planning, transition planning and educational opportunities, run a student-led transition program for incoming military students, provide staff professional development on the needs of military families, and reserve five percent of open enrollment seats for military-connected students.
Schools must also offer at least three additional activities supporting military families, such as a community service project connecting the school with the military community, an annual military recognition event, or a JROTC program. The department said the full list of Purple Star Schools of Distinction and details on how to join are posted on its Purple Star webpage. (Source: Florida Department of Education)
