FSBA Resolution Update; Resolution not challenged

Resolution on Assessments & Accountability upheld

Thursday, the Florida School Board Association met for its General Membership Business Meeting. It was a full agenda that included approval for ‘Ratification of the 2015 Legislative Platform’. The Resolution on Assessments & Accountability passed by the FSBA Board of Directors was not on the final agenda, but that was not for a negative reason.

It is my understanding that since the Resolution on Tuesday passed the FSBA Board of Directors, that unless a member asked that the Resolution be amended at the General Membership Business Meeting (which was not the case at this meeting but that I later learn was the case in 2012 when the FSBA members adopted a similar Resolution), that then the Resolution was upheld and no additional action on the Resolution needed to take place as the Board of Directors had the authority to adopt the Resolution.

Therefore the FSBA Resolution on Assessments & Accountability was upheld by not being challenged.

I want to greatly thank FSBA Legislative Committee Chair, The Honorable Carol Cook, Pinellas County School Board Member for her and the committee’s work and support of being the Resolution to the FSBA Directors. I also want to give a special thanks to our FSBA President, The Honorable Patty Hightower, Escambia County School Board Member for her impressive work managing and presiding over the FSBA meeting.

I will be sharing more about the FSBA General meeting and in particular the Ratification of the 2015 Legislative Platform, but I want to lastly to express my great graduated to the many school board members that participated in Thursday’s General meeting. These are tremendously dedicated Public School Representatives that care greatly for the work we are doing and its impact on our communities, schools, teachers and most importantly our students. I am honored to work with them.
