Title: Hispanic/Latino Heritage Month

Recommendation:
I recommend the School Board declare September 15-October 15, 2007 as Hispanic/Latino Heritage Month and showcase the unique diversity of the Hispanic culture and contributions.

Description: From Florida's earliest days, people of Hispanic heritage and culture have played a vital role in shaping our state.  The School District celebrates National Hispanic/Latino Heritiage Month, recognizing Hispanic/Latino Americans for helping to build national character and strengthen communities.  The School District recognizes the vitality of the Hispanic/Latino culture as a great gift to America and a part of the unique fabric of our country as they have enriched the nation through contributions in many professions and fields.

Financial Impact:
None
