2016 Legislative Weekly Video Update #8

This Video Update features FSBA Executive Director Andrea Messina discussing some of the major issues – many not related to education – that shaped this legislative session.  She also provides an overview of where things stand with the education budget and offers some suggestions for issues that districts should be considering, given the limited increase in per student funding in the FEFP.  Ms. Messina also lists some of the education bills that are still in play and cautions that, during this last week of the legislative session, things happen quickly.  Those wishing to keep track of the action may wish to bookmark The Florida Channel — http://thefloridachannel.org/ — where you can watch the floor sessions live or can access archive videos of budget conferences and press gaggles with legislative leaders.
