DISTRICT SPEAKERS BUREAU GOOD RESOURCE FOR EDUCATION QUESTIONS, PRESENTATIONS October 2, 2002 To help area businesses, parent organizations and civic groups provide their employees and members with information about Miami-Dade's public schools, the school district has launched its successful Speakers Bureau for a second year. 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 student services, 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," he said. To request a speaker, citizens should call 305.995.1126 or visit the district's Office of Public Relations website at www.dadeschoolsnews.net. ### 02-MV0024/JAM Back to News Releases
