Overview



	The Florida Department of Education announces a public meeting to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME:	April 7, 2011, 8:30 a.m.

PLACE:	Tampa Airport Marriott, Broward Room I, Tampa, Florida

Subject:	The purpose of the meeting was to select the search firm to conduct the search for the next Commissioner of Education which was necessitated by the resignation of the current Commissioner of Education. As the Commissioner of Education is the chief education officer for the state whose duties include advising the State Board of Education on all matters pertaining to the education of all public school students in Florida, the announcement of his resignation on March 21, 2011, established a need that could have an immediate danger to the public welfare. The Chair of the State Board of Education also tendered his resignation from the Board which necessitated further direction from the Board. The Board selected Ray and Associates, Inc. to conduct the search with an application deadline of May 25, 2011; and interviews of eight to ten candidates by the State Board of Education to be conducted on June 1, 2011. The Board also approved a resolution designating Commissioner Smith to sign State of Florida, Full Faith and Credit, State Board of Education Public Education Capital Outlay Bonds on behalf of the State Board of Education.
