FROM:
Jim Warford
DATE:
January 14, 2005
SUBJECT:
2004 JUVENILE JUSTICE TEACHER OF THE YEAR AWARD
I am pleased to announce the Department of Education and the Juvenile Justice Educational
Enhancement Program (JJEEP) are accepting nominations for the 2004 Juvenile Justice Teacher
of the Year award. Please find enclosed the complete nomination packet including an overview
of the process and the nomination form.
Florida’s system for educating juvenile offenders is among the strongest in the nation due in part
to the compassion and dedication of juvenile justice teachers. Through the Teacher of the Year
process, we will honor one teacher from each of Florida’s five reporting regions as the regional
Teacher of the Year. One of the five regional honorees will be selected as Florida’s 2004
Juvenile Justice Teacher of the Year.
