Beliefs

  • Children/students should be the center of educational efforts.
  • With proper expectations and resources, children will learn.
  • Children must be motivated to become active learners and education should be focused on designated outcomes.
  • We need to prepare our children to live, learn, work, and communicate in a diverse society.
  • The educational system should develop and must make available programs that enable each child to learn and develop at his/her maximum potential.
  • Florida's system of education requires effective legislative participation in order to exercise school boards' constitutional right to control, manage, and operate school districts.
  • Legislative decisions concerning the education and welfare of young people can best be made with informed input from stakeholders.
  • Training and communication are essential for organizational change and individual growth.
  • Education is a dynamic process with a commitment to make system changes to meet the evolving needs of society.
  • The federal and state governments and the Department of Education should provide adequate resources to support local school boards' responsibilities to their community.
  • Education must build community-wide partnerships. It takes a whole village to raise a child. It does not matter who gets credit as long as the job gets done.
