      Press Release— Feb 27th, 2017

Bill Status:  3/7/17 was filed and will be headed to committee.

 

For Immediate Release:  2017 Instructional Materials companion bills filed in the Florida House and Senate.

 

WHAT:  SB 1210 and HB 989 companion bills were filed last week by Sen. Tom Lee and Rep. Byron Donalds. These are “fixit” companion bills to a very “well-intentioned” Senate Bill passed into law in 2014, but not implemented by a single school district.  The original intent was to establish each school board to be constitutionally responsible for the instruction materials used in their respective districts and to establish an open, transparent process for reviewing, raising objections to and approving instructional materials used with K-12 students.
Executive Summary


Bill text ( SB1210)

 

When passed this fixit bill will:

- Require that each school district shall implement a transparent Policy/Process within their District whether they acquire from the State list or create their individual acquisition program.
- Provide a definition of quality materials and requirement for providers to
meet Florida existing laws.
 - Tighten the definition of instructional materials to include “on-line” materials.
 - Give each District School Board greater flexibility to use instructional materials that meets or exceed current Florida Standards.
 - Expand a parent’s right to object to include the rights of all taxpayers.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
