[LM_NET] OT: sort of...SB 6 the overhaul of FL schools

["Mitchell, Lynette" <MitchellL@CITRUS.K12.FL.US>]

... was vetoed by our Governor, Charlie Crist!  This was a bill that
would have stripped tenure from all teachers, made all raises contingent
on whether or not students did well on state wide testing, and more ...
all with no funding to implement any of the new mandates.  It would have
decimated the education system in Florida.  It narrowly passed the
Senate and the House, but we rallied all school workers, parents,
communities, everyone we could to call, write, and do some lobbying of
our own to defeat this bill and it worked!
