The Future of Public Education Is In Grave Danger!!!
Dear Colleagues,
Governor Scott will be receiving a bill that was passed by the Florida Legislature earlier this month.
This bill will be devastating to public education by:
· Forcing the District to share local tax revenue with charter schools, including for profit entities. Next year, this will take $13 million from the BCPS classrooms and over the course of the next five years the financial impact could be up to $125 million.
· Changing turnaround options for public education. This may impact 18 BCPS schools and will remove the School Board’s constitutional authority to manage schools.
· Impacting district-wide Title I programs which serve our most fragile students.
Please contact the Governor and urge him to VETO House Bill 7069.
You can contact him using the below resources:
· Send an e-mail using [browardschools.com/LEAOR]LEAOR, the District’s online advocacy tool to the Governor.
· Send a postcard to the Governor.
· Send a personalized e-mail to the Governor.
· Call the Governor’s office: (850) 717-9337
· Add your message to the 7069 frame and share it on social media.
· Share the 7069 fact sheet on social media.
