Scott Mazur, who heads the Leon Classroom Teachers Association, thanked the district both for drafting the policy and for including a provision that puts some decision-making power in hands.

The parent, whose child attends Hartsfield Elementary, said her child missed recess recently because a substitute teacher complained of the cold outside. Marie-Claire Leman, who leads the Title I Advisory Council that advises the school board, had her own account of her recess being taken away as a privilege. Leman, who is also the parent of an LCS student, said her daughter recently brought home a test, and said if she did not bring it back to her teacher signed by a parent, she would not have recess the following day.

Leman said she is a supporter of the policy, and thanked the board for focusing on the issue. There was an overwhelming show of support for the adoption, including among board members. Board member Rosanne Wood, who has backed the policy from its beginning stages, said she is happy to see it coming to fruition. take on it is, the research basically says this: When kids have been concentrating hard on work, if they take an unstructured break to play, it sort of resets their brains.

I started my journalism career with a yearlong investigative report on child abuse in Ohio for the Kiplinger Foundation.

Twenty years later the kids have grown up and now they are workers for the state of Florida, and here I am focusing on a scared population of people who feel abused, rejected and unappreciated. One of the people who convinced me this project has evolved into something different than first imagined was a man named Mike. Mike tore my heart out while I drove home one night along Centerville Road. He works 40 hours for the state and 30 hours in retail and is at end. not Mike had just one question after confirming I was reporter do they hate he asked referring to lawmakers and the media.

Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri cited several hypothetical sce- narios where arrests would be more appropriate than acivil citation, such as a drunken teenager on a beach creating a disturbance and resisting officers, or a teenager prowling in a backyard who is clearly about to break into a home. Gualtieri said the sheriffs worked with Ahern on the different approach.

While Slapp said civil citation is a good tool, she believes neither bill addresses problems with a lack of flexibility in the current program, such as a limit on three citations.
