El primer día oficial de la sesión legislativa de 2022 es el 11 de enero. Pero en los próximos meses, los legisladores viajarán a Tallahassee para una serie de semanas de comités interinos. Como siempre, la educación será un tema candente. La F.E.A., nuestros sindicatos locales y nuestros miembros están comprometidos a garantizar que las escuelas PreK-12 de Florida, junto con nuestros colleges y universidades, se conviertan en los más fuertes de la nación.
Esperamos que esta página sirva como su primera parada para toda la información que necesita para seguir lo que está sucediendo durante la sesión legislativa de 2022 y un lugar donde pueda aprender a defender sus derechos, sus estudiantes y la educación pública.
Weekly Schedule
Agenda Watch: During the interim weeks, the committees will receive reports and presentations as requested by the committee’s chairperson. The types of information shared during these meetings offers insight into what the committees will focus on during the regular session.
It’s also important to note that bills can move through committees during the interim committee week period. Sometimes substantial bills even make it through all of their committee stops during this interim period meaning they are ready for final passage as soon as session technically begins in March.
Legislators count on the public not paying attention during the interim committee weeks, and we must make sure they know we’re watching them every step of the way.
