SP-2 RECOMMENDED GUIDELINES FOR THE LEGISLATIVE SPECIAL SESSION IN ACCOMPLISHING PUBLIC EDUCATION APPROPRIATION REDUCTIONS DUE TO STATE REVENUE SHORTFALL

As details of the fiscal crisis in the state of Florida involving a shortfall in tax revenue become clearer and as the beginning of the special legislative session to deal with the crisis draws near, public education must be regarded as a priority function in the state and a function which should be spared any across-the-board approach to reducing state spending or one which even encounters a disproportionate reduction.

RECOMMENDED: That The School Board of Miami-Dade County, Florida, adopt the above guidelines as recommendations to the Legislature during the upcoming special and regular legislative sessions and request the Superintendent to transmit these recommendations to the Miami-Dade County Legislative Delegation.
