Fall Break
October 26, 2015
School will resume on Monday, November 2.
The first two weeks of October are Disability History and Awareness Weeks. Section 1003.4205, Florida Statutes, entitled Disability History and Awareness Instruction, was signed into law in 2008. It requires school districts to designate the first two weeks of October as Disability History and Awareness Weeks and also promotes providing instruction for students in all public schools to expand student knowledge, understanding, and awareness of individuals with disabilities, disability history, and the disability rights movement.

I want to thank our teachers, staff and students for the extremely hard work they do to master the standards set out by the State.
As a Constitutional Officer, I took an oath to uphold the laws of the State of Florida. We have complied with those laws. However, we have an obligation to stand up when the accountability system is flawed, and I am fully committed to doing what is in the best interests of our students and families.
Please see the Superintendent’s press release below.
