Status:
Open Agenda
Approve the renewal of the School Board's membership in the Greater Florida Consortium of School Boards.
The Consortium consists of representatives from eleven Florida school boards ? Broward, Charlotte, Collier, Indian River, Lee, Miami-Dade, Monroe, Palm Beach, Pinellas, Sarasota, and St. Lucie. The group is primarily a lobbyist and legislative group that promotes an annual platform to the state lawmakers. Some of the priorities listed by the consortium were adopted as part of the larger Florida School Boards Association?s legislative platform. Earlier this year, the consortium launched a campaign to increase how much money the state allocates to school districts for education, and to provide our children with the resources they need to obtain a quality education and, thereby be in a position to compete in our 21st Century global economy.
This item is being brought forth by School Board Chair, Ann Murray.
Impact to the school district is $3,000. The source of funds is the Board Members' department budget.
