A Message from the Florida PTA

From the Desk of the Florida PTA...

Florida PTA Rally in Tallahassee
March 25th, 11:30AM to 1:30 PM
At Waller Park
The date is set and the site secured for PTA members to let their voices be heard once again in Tallahassee. You were loud and clear last year with your rallying cry of “NO MORE CUTS.” You made a difference—the proposed cuts were restored.

This year your task is to not only persuade legislators to restore the previous cuts, but to make provisions for an adequate, stable source of funding for education when the stimulus dollars run out in 2010. Recognizing the challenge this presents, as well as the distance many of you will be travelling, we will provide an orientation and advocacy training on March 24th, from 3:30PM to 6:30PM in the Florida Education Association (FEA) conference room, 213 South Adams Street, Tallahassee, FL 32301.

We encourage you to arrive in Tallahassee sometime on March 24th to visit your legislators and attend the orientation. A link to Tallahassee hotels is provided for your convenience. You will also have time to visit the Capitol on the morning of March 25th and after the rally.
Please check the Florida PTA website (www.floridapta.org) for additional information.
