“All those who by force or fraud—or even by the will of the people or the nobles—obtain the absolute reins of government, and believe themselves to be, or are, above the law. … Tyranny is the name that must be applied … to any government in which he who is charged with the execution of the laws may make, destroy, break, interpret, hinder, or suspend them with assurance of impunity.

–Vittorio Alfieri

The training is required by a new law passed in the aftermath of the Parkland school massacre last February.

The Flagler County School Board meets in workshop at 3 p.m. The board is expected to discuss its new School Board Operating Procedures Manual, created, according to a synopsis by the administration, “by the Board to provide a common framework and shared understanding of how the Board will conduct its business. The procedures manual is intended to: clarify expectations; minimize confusion and discord; maximize efficiency and effectiveness; tell the who, what, when, where, and how of various situations and practices; improve working relationships; ease new members’ transition; keep agreements clear to all; identify best practices for effective teamwork; share procedures with community and staff; and align board operations with district policy, and local, state and federal law.” In TRaining Room 3B on the third floor of the Government Services Building, Bunnell.

The Flagler County School Board holds a special meeting at 5 p.m. in board chambers at the Government Services Building, Bunnell, to renew a contract with the Florida Department of Education and the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, which have an ongoing cooperative agreement with various districts throughout Florida.

DOE/DVR reimburses the district $34,208.79 per Employment Specialist who serves vocational rehabilitation students. The district pays $7,744.60. This money comes from the FTE generated by students attending the TRAIL program.

Roundabout at US1 and Matanzas Woods Parkway Public Hearing: The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is holding a public information meeting about a proposed roundabout at the intersection of US1 and Matanzas Woods Parkway.
