City Officials to visit area schools during Florida City Government Week

Members of the St. Augustine City Commission and the city’s fire chief will be visiting area schools next week as part of Florida City Government Week, October 21-27. Participating schools will use one day during the week to host a participating official who will lead Pledge of Allegiance at the start of the school day.

Mayor Joe Boles, Vice Mayor Leanna Freeman, Commissioners Errol Jones and Nancy Sikes-Kline, and Fire Chief Mike Arnold will visit R. B. Hunt, Ketterlinus, and Crookshank Elementary Schools, The Webster School, and Cathedral Parish School during the week.

City officials visiting area schools during Florida City Government Week has become a tradition in recent years. The visits provide an opportunity for city leaders and students to meet creating an opportunity to put a spotlight on the significant role local government has in everyday lives.

City Government Week is simply a time for the community to be mindful that municipal government is the level of government that has the most impact on its constituency’s quality of daily life, and to emphasize that municipal is the most accessible of all levels of government.

Florida City Government Week is a program sponsored by the Florida League of Cities. For more information visit www.floridaleagueofcities.com.
