Make Our Voices Heard

From the Desk of our DCC Representative...


As you are probably aware, we are facing a huge deficit in Duval County schools (and Florida schools in general) in the upcoming year. At one Duval County PTA meeting I attended, it was said that, "we are part of the disconnect" - i.e. the parents and concerned citizens are not speaking up against the budget cuts. They said that "the legislators simply are not hearing that there is a problem in the schools." One way that we can all help is to make our voices heard. Please take a moment to access the following web page and either print and mail the letter template (you may, and are encouraged to, send multiple letters,) directly to our legislator at:

Representative Ronald (Doc) Renuart
402 South Monroe Street
317 House Office Building
Tallahassee, FL 32399-1300

OR email the letter to Representative Renuart at Ronald.renuart@myfloridahouse.gov

OR contact info@50thnomore.org for drop-off locations, and the organization will hand-deliver your letter to the legislators, who are in Tallahassee currently.

Web site for letter template:

Of course, you can also compose your own letter to send as well!

Another way to make our voices heard is to attend the Rally in Tallahassee on Thursday, March 25 from 11:30am - 1:30pm.

Thank you so much for your support in this. United, we CAN make a difference!
