Happy National School Choice Week!📚
Charter School Leaders of Hillsborough County are at the Capitol to advocate for families and ensure they can choose the school that best fits their child's needs.
It appears that the Hillsborough School Board is trying to shut down charter schools to pad their enrollment numbers and collect more money. This is shameful. Kicking kids out of the school of their choice in violation of the law is never okay. https://t.co/LzbglCNPVw
Today, I signed HB 641 and announced the approval of $500 million dedicated to raising teacher salaries in Florida. This historic initiative puts Florida among the top five states in the nation for minimum teacher pay. See more here - https://t.co/xe7kL07c2k
To the folks keeping the world turning while we hunker down during these troubled times: thank you. Immensely grateful to the health care professionals, cleaning staffs, grocery store workers, and first responders who are doing everything they can to keep us healthy and safe.

Having come from an entirely different culture out of state, I have been summarily impressed with @Jeff_Eakins and the relationship between SDHC and their charters. We’re all in this together for the benefit of students and I’m glad I have been able to become a part of it.
Protect yourself from COVID-19. Wash your hands frequently with soap & water for 20 seconds before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. If soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer. Avoid people who are sick, and stay home when you are sick.
Congratulations to Ms. Roxy Ramos for being nominated for last night’s Excellence in Action Awards! Thank you for making a difference for our students! #HCPSEIA2019
