Announcements/Comments47. ANNOUNCEMENTS/COMMENTSDescription N/A
Recommendation N/A
Minutes: Board member Shirley Brown stated that the Senate and the House has two different budgets and getting their funding in different places. Both budgets have less funding; not less of an increase but actually less funding (about $30 million) less than what they left the Legislature last year with. There is still some discussion that the dollars they base this Budget on may be inflated because the revenue estimating may be coming back with lower numbers as we go. It is a very uncertain future. The Senate takes some of the Capital dollars and uses it for Operating and states that is the way to meet the Budget. It is a very difficult process.
Board Vice-Chair Caroline Zucker sits on the Board of Directors for the Florida School Board Association for Charlotte and Sarasota County. One issue is an amendment as to the recall of School Board members. This did not pass. Joining the class action suit with Pinellas County regarding storm water fees. Joined with Palm Beach because Palm Beach is trying to close a Charter school and DOE is stating that Palm Beach did not give the Charter school fourteen days notice; refusing to acknowledge Palm Beach's closing of the Charter school. In Dade County the Superintendent won regarding the transfer of a principal. The Board cannot do anything if the Superintendent decides to transfer a principal. Texas has a state-wide buying pool and Sarasota is going to be joining Texas enabling Sarasota to buy at a lower cost. Sarasota County is now responsible for monitoring FRS investments under the 401 (3B).
Board member Shirley Brown stated the Legislature is getting very prescriptive in their mandates.
