    Should Florida raise taxes to cover education budget deficits?
    Yes, we need to support schools at whatever the cost.
    No, make them cut and live within their means.

Seeking nominees

The Florida African American Education Alliance is accepting nominations of students, teachers, administrators and community leaders who are leading the way in math, science, engineering and technology education for recognition.

Regional finalists will be invited to attend the group's 2008 summit and recognition program on Jan. 20-21 in Orlando.

Know someone who fits the bill? The group will take nominations through Nov. 20. Visit its web site for more information.

Comments

Is this only open to african american nominees? If so I wonder if we had a caucasion american award only open to caucasions would that be considered racist? Just wondering.
