Waters and the Arts Council attorney will be working out the particulars to be presented at the February board meeting in two weeks. More of us in Martin County should also. One of those positions was a director of human resources. Powers, however, gave an honest assessment with constructive notes. Both Russell and Pritchetts campaigns were aligned withconservative political talking points that have permeated School Board discussions since the COVID-19 pandemic advocating for parental rights, as well as opposing mask mandates anddiscussion of gender identity and critical race theory,a college-level academic theory,inclassrooms.

It seems that the district was the last one in the state to come into line with the state mandate regarding teachers pay. Therefore, it was the committees recommendation for the students to attend Anderson Middle School and Jensen Beach High School. In reviewing the Districts mission and vision statements, three inspirational words stood out to me as guiding principles for our work All, Dynamic and Excellence. $400 million is invested to raise the minimum base pay for full-time classroom teachers, and $100 million is to raise the salaries of Floridas veteran teachers and other instructional personnel. As an example, the district would make Parker the airport school and Hidden Oaks the nursing school. This is a very handy tool, and this should be parents first stop to know what is going on.

Any additional legal expertise needed would be under the chief attorney. It had to do with the racist post of six Hidden Oaks students. It would seem to me that subject to a referendum every four years the extra half mill is now permanent. It appears the other committee members representing staff, teachers, and retirees felt comfortable with them. That is about a $175 million loss over more than a decade. Anderson has devoted himself to education. Anderson also mentioned that Critical Race Theory is not taught in Martin County Schools. I like the idea that the lessons are streamed, and I hope it continues. Due to Hurricanes Ian and Nicole, students enrolled in theMartin County School Districthave missed four (4) days of instruction this school year.

This is an all-new process for Martin County after voters in 2018 decided to allow the school board to pick the new superintendent, according to the district spokesperson Jennifer Deshazo. Now it seems they may be looking to ramp that up again. There is a severe shortage of bus drivers. Recently, just the idea that multi-family housing was coming to Palm City drew a large crowd to the NAC meeting. Without substantial cuts to other programs, it is obvious that the increased amounts for teachers and others cannot be sustained without the continuation of the half mill.

He wants to eliminate some positions and reimagine several others to focus more on the classroom. Greg Black of Waypoint Strategies, the boards lobbyist, brought the board up to date regarding the bills that passed in Tallahassee. Are they afraid that an impaired driver will run over a kid? Get the right information. The answer is yes.

The question to be answered is whether they are really producing the needed education for these students to assume jobs and if so, are the groups duplicating programs? Millays preliminary estimates suggest that it would cost about $165 per foot to build. The district may require assigned seating in other settings such as cafeterias. The blended increase for the plans would be 13.8%. The main building itself served as the original Martin County High School from 1923-1964. Ms. Resciniti is the union president and cannot adequately perform her teaching assignment and union representation at the same time.

If those operations go wrong, they are now accountable for it. The design of these schools needs to be reconsidered.
