Advocacy

The mission of the Florida Association of School Administrators is to support and empower administrators in providing high-quality education to all students in Florida. We protect public education and its fundamental role in our society. We provide transformational opportunities to foster highly effective leaders. We prepare Florida students for global success.

To that end, FASA advocates year-round in Tallahassee and around the nation via our staff, Board of Directors and national representatives. FASA is fighting for public education and works closely with state representatives and senators in the Florida Legislature to bring about laws that bolster public education. Every year, FASA hosts the Advocate Conference where members are invited to join us for legislative briefings, set meetings with legislators, and network with one another.

Attend the FASA Advocate Conference - Advocate is scheduled each year for the Monday and Tuesday after the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday in Tallahassee.

Tracking legislation - If you would like to set up an account to track statute changes and bills throughout session, use the Senate or House of Representatives websites. You can pick the site you like best and track both chambers in one website. NOTE: FASA will provide updates on all education-related bills for members in the Members Only section and in the Monday NewsTracker newsletter during committee weeks and Session.
