SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER ROBERTO J. ALONSO ELECTED SECRETARY/TREASURER FOR THE GREATER FLORIDA CONSORTIUM OF SCHOOL BOARDS (GFCSB)
At the Spring meeting of the Greater Florida Consortium of School Boards (GFCSB), held in Tampa, on June 6, 2024, School Board Member Roberto J. Alonso, District 4, was elected unanimously to the position of Secretary/Treasurer for the organization. The GFCSB includes Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Monroe, Collier, Charlotte, Pinellas, Manatee, Brevard, and St. Lucie school districts. This organization represents the interests of nearly 50 percent of the public school students in the state of Florida. Each year the GFCSB develops and adopts a consensus legislative platform and advocates those positions in Tallahassee.
“I would like to thank my colleagues on the GFCSB for entrusting me with this position. It is an honor for me to serve as Secretary/Treasurer for this important organization that represents the interests of so many students, teachers, and families in Florida,” said School Board Member Alonso. “I look forward to working together for the benefit of public education in our state.”
Additionally, from June 5 – 7, 2024, School Board Member Alonso joined over 375 school board members, superintendents, and education leaders during the FSBA/FADSS Annual Summer Conference in Tampa, Florida, for three days of leadership development, networking, and training. The theme of the conference, Unleashing Your Superpowers, featured Gregory Offner, Author, Workforce Strategist, and Award-winning Keynote Speaker.
The conference also included an important panel discussion, Decades of Dedication: Insights and Wisdom from our Veteran School Board Superheroes. This session featured an impressive panel of veteran school board members, each with over two decades of experience. They shared their invaluable insights, reflecting on past experiences, and discussed current challenges facing Florida’s school boards. Panelists included Andy Griffiths (Monroe), Patty Hightower (Escambia), Bev Slough (St. Johns), and Jerry Taylor (Suwannee.)
The event also featured a legislative session review and legislator Q&A with Representative Alex Rizo, Representative Susan Valdés, and Senator Travis Hutson. The conversation during this session was moderated by Dr. Danielle Thomas, FSBA Director of Advocacy & Legislative Services, and focused on the biggest education topics coming out of the 2024 Legislative Session including deregulation and other impactful legislation.
