by Kurt S. Browning, Superintendent of Pasco
County Public Schools
School districts and two consortia of school boards across the
state have approved resolutions calling on the state to provide a
three-year transition period for full implementation of the Florida
Standards, the Florida Standards Assessment, and the application
of accountability measures. The District School Board of Pasco also
is considering whether it should take any official action.
We’ve had standards for years and we agree that we have to
assess students to make sure that we are teaching them those
standards. Standardized tests are useful for measuring whether
we are doing that.
Accountability also is necessary. We accept that we must
be held accountable for providing students with a high quality
education based on the state’s standards.
Teacher evaluations are necessary, as well, to measure educator
effectiveness. One way to determine a teacher’s effectiveness is
to monitor how their students perform on standardized tests, but
that is merely a snapshot of a teacher’s quality in the classroom.
The School Board is looking at those three areas of concern
with Florida’s system.
We are concerned that Florida is moving too quickly to implement the new assessments without knowing whether they are
valid, reliable, and fair. We also worry that districts may not have
the technology infrastructure and devices to administer these
online tests. A third concern is with the way Florida applies the
results of student standardized assessments to measure, penalize,
and reward teachers, students, schools and school districts.
We will work with the Pasco Legislative Delegation on these
issues to try to convince the state to take a step back, confirm
the reliability of the new standardized test, and make sure that all
districts have the capacity to administer them. So much rides on
getting it right this time, and we hope to convince state leaders
to slow down the implementation process.

by Paula S. O’Neil, Ph.D., Pasco County Clerk & Comptroller
2014 Constitution Essay Contest Award Ceremony
The Honorable Paula S. O’Neil, Ph.D., congratulates Jordan Eddy,
the 2014 Clerk & Comptroller Constitution Essay Contest first place
winner. Jordan is a fifth grader from Crews Lake K-8 School. Dr.
O’Neil also congratulates second place winner Autumn Cole and
third place winner Anya Gorgas. Former educator Lucia Jablon, re-
porter Tom Jackson, and author Gail Diederich
graciously volunteered to serve on the judging
panel, evaluating each entry against contest and FCAT criteria.
Dr. O’Neil recognized contest winners at the Pasco County School
Board meeting on October 21, 2014. Family members, teachers,
and administrators took part in the event. Jordan Eddy’s essay stood out among the excellent entries. Summarizing his essay, Jordan wrote, “This document is
important to me because rights are the things that make America
the Land of the Free. Rights give us so many things that make us
proud and grateful citizens.”
Jordan and his family will enjoy lunch with Dr. O’Neil and receive
an escorted tour of the West Pasco Judicial Center. Dr. O’Neil extends a thank you and congratulations to all of the participants for
their hard work and reflection on such an important topic.

Ultimate Office Party
December 6, 2014
7:00pm to 2:00am • Historic Downtown District
Due to cutbacks as a result of the economic downturn, many businesses may
be eliminating the traditional Holiday Office Party. If that is the case, you now
have a place to go—the Ultimate Office Party being hosted by Greater New Port
Richey Main Street’s Hospitality Managers Association (HMA). The fun takes
place in downtown New Port Richey on Saturday December 6th from 7 pm to
2 am. The party is part of the continuing series of downtown activities, where
downtown restaurants and taverns compete for bragging rights and prizes in
the areas of decoration and seasonal libations. That evening the Downtown Art
Gallery will be transformed into the North Pole, and patrons will pick up their
passport that will be used to cast their ballot in the Ultimate Office Party contest.
HITS 106 is returning for a LIVE REMOTE in our downtown as our restaurants
and taverns compete for the Themed categories (decorations, costumes, drinks,
etc.) The participating establishments will be the member restaurants and taverns in downtown New Port Richey. There will be a trolley available courtesy of
Friendly KIA to take people from place to place and return them to the Gallery
where the votes will be tallied and the winners announced.
