Recently, Village resident and first Mayor of Palmetto Bay, Honorable Eugene Flinn, mentioned in his personal newsletter how the state budget crisis will endanger the viability of public education statewide.
From the South Dade Update:
We all know that improving our public schools is one of the most important keys to successful business and community development. Our state is facing a budget crisis that will endanger the viability of public education statewide with even more of a direct impact on the children growing up in our county. The state legislators and our governor are literally putting our educational system back into the dark ages.
Governor Rick Scott's original budget plan called for public education to absorb about 72% of his proposed budget cuts even though public schools only account for 29% of state spending. While lawmakers have not completely embraced the Governor's plan, Miami-Dade County Public School officials last week projected the district will have to deal with $144 million in cuts.
