SUBJECT: Florida
Partners in Education Conference
It is my pleasure to announce the Florida Partners in Education Conference, hosted by the
Florida Department of Education and the Florida Association of Partners in Education,
which will take place April 19-21, 2006, at the Hilton Daytona Beach Ocean Walk Village
in Daytona Beach. This year’s theme,
Rev Up Your Engines for Student Achievement,
is
reflective of our state’s commitment to continuous improvement in every area of education.
All district, school, and community personnel who are interested in enhancing community
involvement in education will want to attend. This year’s workshops and general sessions
feature nationally known speakers, as well as the state’s most knowledgeable practitioners.
Lunch and evening events will honor Florida’s Outstanding School Volunteers,
superintendents recognized for their support of volunteer/community programs, winners of the
Commissioner’s Business Recognition Awards, and winners of the Sunshine Medallion
Awards.
For more information or registration, visit the Florida Partners in Education website at
www.flpie.net or call the Bureau of Family and Community Outreach at 850/245-0847. I
look forward to greeting you at this year’s conference.
