Today SB passed the Senate by a vote of 21 to 17 - Four Republicans joined the Democrats in voting NO! Be sure to thank Republican Senators Dean, Dockery, Jones and Villalobos for standing up against the Republican Party of Florida Chair and sponsor of the bill John Thrasher for their courageous vote. We have seen before the wrath that going against the Party can bring upon members. These folks deserve our thanks and support for doing the right thing. We also thank the Senate Democrats for standing strong for us against this bill.
Now we move to the House ...
So far PKP2 (which will be numbered after it passes the committee) looks very similar to SB 6. We will be working today with the House Republicans and Democrats to attempt to amend the House version, but we need to turn up the volume in the House. The proposed committee bill will be heard Thursday in the House Education PreK-12 Policy Committee- please contact the following members and urge them to vote against the House version of SB6. You should be able to click on their names for their contact information.
Legg, John (R) Chair
Fresen, Erik (R) Vice Chair
Bullard, Dwight M. (D) Democratic Ranking Member
Burgin, Rachel V. (R)
Coley, Marti (R)

The bill is on the floor of the senate this morning for "final" vote. Late last night a house bill became public. The house bill will be on a fast track as well and appears to be very similar. Our action will move to the House after the Senate vote.

The Florida Education Association (FEA) is asking members to provide their input on potential education reforms, and the FEA would like you to participate. As you may know, massive reforms to our public education system are being considered by state and national officials, many of which will be decided within the next few months. That is why the FEA is asking for your input.
This survey should take between 15 and 20 minutes of your time and the survey will ask for your telephone number as your unique id at the end of the survey.

The Okaloosa County Education Association bargains the contract for all teachers, but we do not enforce the provisions of the contract for non-members. OCEA has a policy that restricts its officers, staff, building reps, and other employees from providing services for non-members or for those who join after experiencing a job-related problem. As a result, we are unable to provide professional protection for non-members.
