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.
