Parents and Guardians, The Florida Legislature is in session, and unfortunately, they are considering legislation that would have a strong negative impact on our schools. One of the things schools in Duval are known for is providing all students with programs to accelerate college credit and career development experiences. Unfortunately, the legislature is considering cutting funding to these highly successful programs by 50%. These are programs that enable your students to earn free college credit and career certifications while in high school. A 50% cut to our highly successful college dual enrollment, career training, and advanced high school diploma programs would be devastating and will impact all students. If you are willing, please send a note with your feelings on this issue to your elected representatives. https://www.jacksonville.gov/departments/duval-legislative-delegation/delegation-members-jacksonville-info As your principal, I appreciate you taking a brief moment to increase your awareness of this issue and your willingness to let your voice be heard. Sincerely, Principal St. Amand
