DISTRICT LAUNCHES SPEAKERS BUREAU March 28, 2002 To help area businesses and civic groups provide their employees and members with information about public education in Miami-Dade County, the school district has launched its new Speakers Bureau. Miami-Dade County Public Schools has experts in many areas of education who are available to speak before organizations on an array of topics, including school/business partnerships, volunteering, educational choice, and funding. Speakers are available to present information in English, Spanish or Haitian-Creole. "Throughout the school year, citizens need information or have questions about public education," said Communications Executive Officer Mayco Villafaña. "Our Speakers Bureau takes the dissemination of information to a personal level that allows discussion and encourages community input." To request a speaker, citizens should call 305.995.1126 or visit the district's Office of Public Relations website at www.dadeschoolsnews.net/speakers.htm. ### 02-MV/227/JAM Back to News Releases
