The linked article about lobbying the Florida Legislature on Saving our Health Insurance Supplement and our Retirement COLA is the best I have seen yet.  Please take five minutes to read and study it, then take some action.  The article is written by my fried Larry Carmichael who is the legislative Liaison for Florida Retired Educators Association ( FREA ).  JOHN MILIZIANO

History & Heritage

When you think of Dan Bonilla, you think of someone who has come full-circle as a long-time resident of Tampa.  Dan was born at the Gonzalez Clinic and grew up in old historic Ybor City where his Cuban family raised him.  Back in those days, his family was members of Ciculo Cubano, which was a society that provided healthcare and recreational activities to the Hispanic community.  His dad was a laborer and his mom worked in a cigar factory.  Dan was named outstanding lineman during his senior year at Jefferson High School.  Who could imagine he would later become principal of the very same school where he played football?     continued

 
from your Executive Director

by Executive Director
Dr. John Miliziano

Because this year is a Florida Legislative Reapportionment ten-year cycle, the legislative session is scheduled to begin earlier than usual, January 10, 2012.  Every ten years all Florida legislators, both House and Senate, come up for re-election (this November 2012).  This is a significant event because Florida citizens will get to decide which legislators will be re-elected and those that will not.  I would think that those who want to be re-elected will or should want to listen to what their constituents have to say. continued

Greetings Fellow Administrators:        
We have begun a very busy and productive school year.  I know you continue to work hard as instruments of change. Please know that all you do for our students in this school district is greatly appreciated.  I would like to bring three items of importance to your attention.  I trust that you will take time to do what you can in support of any or all of them.   continued

 
2012 Legislative Update

by Dr. Ken Allen

I realize that, as of this writing, it’s still 2011, but the new legislative session will begin on January 10, 2012 and committee meetings will start months before that. It seems like we are still licking our wounds from the last session and it’s time to prepare for battle again.   continued
 

 HASA's Fall Festival

Despite the torrential rainstorms and a scheduling conflict with elementary parent’s night, HASA members and business partners were in festive spirits during the Fall Social on September 22nd at Higgins Hall.

HASA President, Herbert Peeples opened the evening's festivities by welcoming participants and introducing School Board Members Carol Kurdell, Candy Olson, and Dr. Jack Lamb.  Deputy Superintendent Dan Valdez introduced fellow senior staff members and expressed gratitude to administrators for all that they do to enhance the education of students within the district.  He also stated that the School Board and Mrs. Elia's staff are committed to doing everything they can to ensure that there are no furloughs or layoffs for employees within the district.  Mr. Valdez expressed fear of what legislators may do to education and educators during the upcoming 2012 legislative session.  the School Board and Mrs. Elia's staff are committed to doing everything they can to ensure that there are no furloughs or layoffs for employees within the district.  Mr. Valdez expressed fear of what legislators may do to education and educators during the upcoming 2012 legislative session.   continued
