The five finalists for Superintendent will be interviewed on Thursday, May 11th and local PTA members are encouraged to observe the process. We’d like to make sure that we have representation during all of the interviews so that, as a advocacy group as a whole, we have all of the information possible when weighing in on the decision.

• All interviews are open to the public and will take place at Kirby-Smith.
• Anyone attending an interview will be able to fill an input form for observers that will be given to our School Board Members and taken into consideration.
• Observers are not allowed to ask questions or interject into the interview process.

While each interview has only one slot available for sign-up, you’re welcome to attend as many as you’d like. Thank you for your help with this important process.

You can find the schedule and sign up to observe here!

Keep calling and emailing! Here are the FLPTA talking points. Call today and through the weekend, even after hours. Leave messages. The vote is MONDAY!

*Fund K-12 education at the Senate’s level – a record $7414.26 per pupil. Our children need and deserve more than the compromise budget, which decreases per pupil spending by $20/pupil.

*Pay for charter school construction and repairs using state, not local, capital dollars. Districts are required to use dollars based on need, meaning the money goes to the neediest schools. Charters will receive the money whether they need it or not leaving less money for our broken-down public schools.
