- WHAT’S HAPPENING - IN EDUCATION? An Update From Our School Board Member By Teresa "Terry" Castillo - It is finally summer, and we all deserve some time to reflect. Before we do this, we need to recognize the incredible accomplishments of the class of 2020. I am so proud of our seniors! I am looking forward to the upcoming CLHS graduation on July 10th. Dr. Pace has established a back to work task force that will assist in determining the road map for back to school on August 10th. We want to ensure that every voice is heard since the way we resume our education plan affects everyone in our community. A survey is now available on the district website, designed to capture your thoughts on instruction methods. In addition to considering your opinion, we are also guided by the CDC and the Florida Department of Education recommendations. The survey is available from now until June 8th and can be found directly through the following links: English survey: https://osceolaschools.net/backtoschoolparentsurvey Spanish survey: https://osceolaschools.net/encuestraparapadres If you are connected with CK8 or CLHS via social media, please check out their fond farewell tributes for our eighth-grade graduates and our seniors. Our teachers and administrators did an incredible job of capturing the essence of our students. I wish you and your family a relaxing break. Summer break can be a time for getting ahead as well. A few summer camps are going virtual this year, and while it is not the ideal situation, it may be a good alternative. Our high school students may choose to complete volunteer hours this summer, but whatever your family decides to do, know that we will continue holding school board meetings, our facilities team will complete projects and our staff will work around the clock to prepare for a successful 2020-2021 school year. However it may look, we are going to put the School District of Osceola’s students first. Terry Teresa “Terry” Castillo, Osceola County School Board - District 1.
