Please read the Citrus Chronicle editorial, “School-transfer bills have no place in Florida“, regarding two legislative bills that would create ‘high school athletic free agency’ and that are rapidly moving towards becoming law if we don’t voice our displeasure to our state legislators.
The Chronicle shared, “… the Legislature is pushing the college model for the recruitment of athletes down to the high school level.” I appreciated that the Chronicle went on to say, “…It is appalling that bills like this ever find their way out of committees and onto the floor of the Legislature.”

On Thursday, January 28th, 2016 in remembrance of the 30th anniversary of the Challenger tragedy where 7 astronauts (including the first teacher in space Christa McAullife) 73 seconds after liftoff. The 5th grade classes at Citrus Springs Elementary School used Google Hangouts to interview Dr. Eric Stewart for 45 minutes.
Dr. Stewart is a CSES alumni an LHS graduate who is now a NASA engineer at U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
CSES Technology Specialist Christina Hackey who worked to setup this video conference shared, “(students) had a blast videoconferencing with a real NASA engineer in honor of Challenger’s 30th anniversary. All six of the 5th grade classes at Citrus Springs Elementary School had the opportunity to ask questions as the 45 minute session was broadcast live to the whole school. Awesome opportunity!”
This in another opportunity where technology positively brings the outside world in to our local classrooms and allows our students to interact in their learning.
