My 9 year old received a letter from Sen. Gaetz and a certificate from his son acknowledging my son's scores on last year's FCAT. Can anyone tell me how they know this information? Did I give permission for them to get it? While my son will get a kick out of receiving the letter, I think there is a privacy issue to be concerned about.

Great question for all the newly elected school board members and your elected Queen.

Ask them...

I believe it falls under Florida's sunshine law, I could request the information as well.

Understood. We tried.
7000+ like the status quo, which is typical around here.
Don't rock the boat.

Boats been rocked, it tipped over, people fell out, some got life preservers (even a raft or two) and now here we are....

Go to every school board meeting you can attend! Ask questions of your elected officials! Hold them accountable!

I understand them. If they have never seen or experienced better, they don't recognize the mediocrity that is Walton County schools.

My daughter got a letter congratulating her on FCAT science score.

She didn't take an FCAT science test last year.

It's taped to the refrigerator so we can laugh at it.

What???

Now I'm confused even more.

Call in to the new school board seems more than reasonable.

When do they take office?

I was told by Sen. Gaetz' office that the school district ( read Mrs. Anderson) provides the FCAT lists to them. I know I have to deal with a form at the beginning of the school year that allows my son's picture to be in the yearbook, etc. what I did not realize is that it could be used to further political agendas.
