Position:

If our students are going to really be able to compete globally and our state is going to be a leader nationally, all sectors of education (Universities, State/Community Colleges and School District’s Technical and Adult Education Centers) will require the necessary financial resources to respond to the needs of employers as well as to create tomorrow’s leaders and engaged citizens. If Florida is to be a robust vibrant economic engine in the global economy, it must prioritize its basic needs especially in K-20 education. We must train tomorrow's workforce today.
