Florida filed a civil lawsuit on Tuesday against textbook publishers McGraw Hill and Savvas Learning, accusing the companies of systematically overcharging public-school districts and diverting resources from classrooms. Governor Ron DeSantis said the action follows a whistleblower complaint received by Attorney General James Uthmeier’s office that alleges the publishers violated state procurement rules “thousands of times,” inflating costs borne by taxpayers and students. The suit, lodged in state court, seeks unspecified damages and restitution. DeSantis, speaking in St. Cloud, argued the case is part of a broader effort to hold education vendors accountable and protect public funds. Representatives of McGraw Hill and Savvas had not publicly responded to the allegations as of late Tuesday afternoon.
