Our Thoughts on HB 7069
5/26/2017
The Jacksonville Public Education Fund has existed since 2009 to advocate for high quality public schools in Duval County. Since our founding, we have intentionally built a Board of Directors with diverse perspectives on public education, and have sought to be an independent, thoughtful voice on education policy in Northeast Florida. Over the past few weeks, we have closely followed the development of the state budget and the various budget conforming bills, particularly House Bill 7069. While the process that yielded the final bill lacked significant public input, our board has focused many hours of its time in discussion and debate over the content of the bill and we have identified those provisions that are worthy of public support and those that may need to be revisited before the bill is approved.
