The politicians in Tallahassee have made laws and policies that make our schools a battle ground for their march towards power. However, our local school boards do still have some agency and have some significant voices that can speak up for our communities.
We have to GO TO OUR LOCAL SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS!
As millions of students return to school this year, it is URGENT that we mobilize to every school board meeting to hold our district accountable and ensure they know our communities deserve to be seen and supported by our public schools. Together, we can fight back against the harms happening in our schools.
In the midst of these attacks from Tallahassee, it is still the duty of our local school districts to strive for safe, inclusive and supportive schools for all students. That is why we are calling on communities across Florida to demand that our local school boards protect every student and respect every family.

We will start the new year with a report from SDC member Lita Epstein on the latest news concerning the results of the Solivita HOA victory over Taylor Morrison for over charging residents’ club fees for the past decade.
Lita, who is a candidate for the Solivita HOA Board, will also bring us up to date on the effort to change the planned route of the extended Poinciana Parkway trough Poinciana. The results could drastically affect the “livability” of Solivita in addition to affecting our home values.
