Date Submitted |

| Sponsors: |
Jones |
| |
| Statewide Interest: |
| Teaching of holocaust education is a statutory mandate; therefore, these funds will help school districts comply with the statutory mandate and allow the Florida Holocaust Museum to provide the materials to a greater number of school districts. Currently, the museum provides curriculum materials and training for more than seventeen (17) school districts free of charge. As a result of increased demand and cost for these materials among a greater number of school districts, the Florida Holocaust Museum does not have the resources to continue providing these needed services. |
