CCSB approves Legislative Platform and a Resolution on State Assessment & Accountability System

So proud of our Citrus County School Board who voted to joined the Florida School Board Associations in adopting the 2016 Legislative Platform and a Resolution on State Assessment & Accountability System.

The Legislative Platform calls for:

• Halt the practice of using statewide standardized test results for any purpose other than diagnostic purposes;
• Provide sufficient per student funding to place Florida in the upper quartile nationally and ensure that funding for each categorical allocation within the FEFP is sufficient to cover actual costs, growth, and inflation, and is not reduced by either enrollment or revenue changes during the fiscal year;
• Restore the authority for school districts to levy, by simple majority vote, up to 2.0 mills for capital purposes, and maintain the current authority of school districts to determine the use of local capital outlay millage revenue;
• Protect taxpayer dollars by ensuring all schools receiving state funds adhere to the same fiscal and academic accountability measures.
