Superintendents want Florida to lead the nation in K-12 education. We are committed to establishing and enforcing high standards for every learner so that they can compete in a global market. We need legislation that will give us the financial resources and also remove the obstacles that hinder progress towards that end.
Two things are needed to assist Florida’s public school districts in continuing to ensure a high quality education: sufficient funding, coupled with fair and equitable implementation of regulations.
Education is the key not only to individual success; but it directly correlates to the economic vitality of our state. Florida’s 67 superintendents, as Constitutional officers and dedicated education professionals, are fully committed to providing "a secure and high quality system that allows students to obtain an excellent education."
To that end, FADSS is pleased to present its 2012 Legislative Platform.
