Meeting To Address Goals For Pasco Schools

Land O' Lakes area residents wanting to find out what's happening in local schools have a great opportunity this week. Pasco County School Superintendent Heather Fiorentino will address such issues as class size, district borders, the budget for schools and goals in education Feb. 10.

The open meeting will be held at the , 5401 Land O' Lakes Blvd., at 7 p.m.  The meeting is sponsored by the Pasco Alliance for Community Associations (PACA).

PACA was created in April 2007 to help Community Development Districts (CDDs), Homeowner Associations (HOAs), and Condominium Associations (CAs) "talk to each other," allowing for greater oneness of purpose in our community. 

"We want to help the Pasco communities to resolve issues that are of local concern. Next month we have invited Henry Wilson, our new county commissioner to share with us his ideas, plans, and goals and in May we've asked Debby Zampetta, acting code compliance administrator, to address concerns that are affecting roads alongside our neighborhoods," said association president Jim Flateau.
