SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Presentation of a Check From the Hillsborough Education Foundation for Purchase of Flags

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

During the 2004 Legislative Session an amendment to Florida Statute 1000.06 (2) Display of flags, was signed into law. This act, “Carey Baker Freedom Flag Act,” required all classrooms to display a two foot by three foot flag. Many of the veterans groups, community and business, and legislative offices have contributed to this effort. The Hillsborough Education Foundation has graciously agreed to fund the remaining flags necessary to put all our schools in compliance.
