  • Education Law Alert February 2019 Ron Desantis Calls to Impanel
    Education Law Alert February 2019 Ron DeSantis Calls to Impanel Grand Jury on School Safety On the eve of the anniversary of the Parkland shooting Governor DeSantis announced that he petitioned the Florida Supreme Court to impanel a statewide grand jury to investigate school districts throughout the state regarding their school safety practices. DeSantis says he made the decision in order to go beyond the scope granted to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission, which was tasked primarily with analyzing the causes of the shooting at that school last year. The Governor stated that in addition to the statewide scope of the grand jury, the panel’s subpoena power will have more teeth compared to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission’s subpoena power. Read more here. Gov. Ron DeSantis Issues Bills on His Key Education Ideas Gov. Ron DeSantis challenged law makers to send him a bill that provides for the creation of taxpayer-funded scholarship for more children to attend private schools. Following the statement, the Governor and his team released their own versions of the bills they hope to see on scholarships, teacher performance pay, graduation requirements, and more. State Rep. Chris Latvala, chairman of House PreK-12 Appropriations and vice chair of House Education, acknowledged the Governor’s prerogative to put forward a budget and conforming bills that would establish new ideas. However, he stated that the Legislature might approve, rewrite, or outright kill the ideas, depending on the will of the majority. Read more here. Florida Could Expand Law That Allows Armed Teachers The Senate Education Committee approved a bill on a 5-3 vote Tuesday that would make all teachers eligible for a program that allows armed teachers.

  • Ron-Desantis-For-Stay-At-Home-Order
    March 31, 2020 Governor Ron DeSantis State of Florida The Capitol 400 South Monroe St. Tallahassee, FL 32399-0001 Dear Governor DeSantis: As a follow up from our March 25th letter, we again urge you to issue a stay-at-home order for the entire state as COVID-19 continues to spread. Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, provided a stark warning Friday on the need for Americans to continue social distancing measures: “When you think you're maybe overreacting, you probably are not acting as forcefully as you should.” We appreciate your recent announcement that you will be issuing a “safer-at-home” order for the southern portion of the state, and will apply this order to Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Monroe counties through the middle of April. However, given that there are over 5,000 positive cases of COVID-19 in Florida, with the Department of Health reporting 523 new positive cases on Sunday, this order should be applied to the entire state immediately in order to effectively slow the spread of COVID-19. This pandemic has not respected global borders so it certainly will not respect county borders. We cannot wait, and we cannot leave this decision to county and municipal governments. We urge you to immediately issue a statewide stay-at-home order to save lives. Sincerely, ______________________ ______________________ Lois Frankel Debbie Wasserman Schultz Member of Congress Member of Congress ______________________ ______________________ Debbie Mucarsel Powell Donna Shalala Member of Congress Member of Congress _____________________ ______________________ Theodore E.

    2010 ARTS ADVOCACY HANDBOOK Celebrating 30 Years of Service to the Arts January 2010 Dear Arts Leader: As we celebrate our 30th year of service to the arts, we know that “Art Works in South Carolina” – in our classrooms and in our communities. We also know that effective advocacy must take place every day! And there has never been a more important time to advocate for the arts than NOW. With drastic funding reductions to the South Carolina Arts Commission and arts education programs within the S. C. Department of Education, state arts funding has never been more in jeopardy. On February 2nd, the South Carolina Arts Alliance will host Arts Advocacy Day – a special opportunity to celebrate the arts – to gather with colleagues and legislators – and to express support for state funding of the arts and arts education! Meet us at the Statehouse, 1st floor lobby (enter at the Sumter Street side) by 11:30 AM, to pick up one of our ART WORKS IN SOUTH CAROLINA “hard-hats” and advocacy buttons to wear. If you already have a hat or button, please bring them! We’ll greet Legislators as they arrive on the 1st floor and 2nd floors. From the chamber galleries, you can view the arts being recognized on the House and Senate floors. You may want to “call out” your legislator to let him or her know you are at the Statehouse and plan to attend the Legislative Appreciation Luncheon. Then join arts leaders and legislators at the Legislative Appreciation Luncheon honoring the Legislative Arts Caucus.
