SUBJECT:
FLORIDA ASSOCIATION OF 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 9-11, 2008, at the Hyatt Regency Riverfront in Jacksonville, Florida. This year’s theme, “Wild
About Student Achievement,”
is reflective of the association’s commitment to present the most
current issues in education and community involvement.
All district, school, and community personnel who are interested in enhancing community involvement
in education will be in attendance. The 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, and winners of the Commissioner’s Business Recognition Awards.
For more information or to register, visit the Florida Partners in Education Web site at www.flpie.net
or call the Bureau of Family and Community Outreach at (850) 245-0847.
