Dear Mayor Dermer:
On behalf of the School Board of Miami-Dade County Public Schools and our students, I would like
to thank you for passing Resolution 2002-24951, supporting the efforts of Miami-Dade County
Public Schools to obtain adequate funding for both our operational and capital needs.
As we enter into the 2002-03 school year, we are plagued by an additional difficult fiscal year as
we attempt to recover from last year's eighty-one (81) million dollar budget cut. The 2003
Legislative Session may not provide much hope as the economy continues to be sluggish and the
state is projected to incur a deficit of $1.5 billion in non-recurring funds from the 2002 fiscal year.
Your resolution will assist our Board members and staff in making public education a priority
consideration.
We look forward to working collaboratively to make our students and community thrive.
Sincereljl
