This week, BattleGroup Communication and other local businesses went to Tallahassee to speak with representatives about educational and community development issues. The biggest challenge is trying to improve and maintain the level of care with budgets shrinking. Our educational talking points were as follows:
• Do not mandate or assign any new, expanded or modified programs or responsibilities unless fully funded by state.
• Identify ad dedicate a stable, reliable and recurring source if state revenue for PK-12 education to a)replace federal stimulus monies, b) re-store prior year cuts, c) avoid additional cuts to educational funding.
• Fulfill the constitutional requirement to make adequate provision for "A uniform, efficient, safe, secure and high quality system of free public education".
• Engage and involve all the stakeholders in any substantial legislative iniatives effecting public education.
It is imperative to have innovative thinkers and strategic alliances to augment the current financial climate. BattleGroup Communications, your strategic communications management company for community development, will continue to work with the local and national agencies to build stronger communities.
