Minutes: 

Caroline Zucker said she was glad to see HB67 killed which would have meant all Florida high school students would start the school day at 8:00 a.m. which would have been transportation cost prohibitive.  She said we need to watch SB1630 which would offer corporation tax scholarships, which could take away from public schools $800M over the next five years. Also we need to watch the charter school bill which will take away local authority.

Jane Goodwin announced that she will be traveling to Tallahassee to meet with our local legislators this week. She also reminded the public that the referendum vote is March 25 and encouraged everyone to get out and vote.

Shirley Brown announced that the Youth Arts Fest will take place this Saturday, March 22 at Five Points downtown from 9:00a - 2:00p.
