Breaking news for Florida public school boards
Governor Crist Signs Senate Bill 1540
Overworked School Boards Scramble to Make Sense of the New Requirements

Tallahassee, FL – With the stroke of a pen, Governor Crist throws a curve ball at over burdened school board members.
In the wake of Senate Bill 1540, I’ve received a lot of questions about the new requirements and what they mean for the 67 school districts… all of whom have wide ranging differences in their Student Codes of Conduct.
Expert Advice at a Price You Can’t Refuse: Free
My graduate research in Zero Tolerance policies in the state of Florida led me to author the book “Zero Tolerance Discipline Policies”.
Rather than buy it from Barnes and Noble, or Amazon, let me give you an even better option.
I would like to offer two hours my consultation services to you free of charge, if your district would like to attempt to implement any of my research findings and incorporate them into the mandates signed into law by Governor Crist.
“Why Am I Offering My Consulting for Free?”… It’s Simple:
Even though I received a promotion within the past month, I see this as a unique opportunity for me to get exposure at a time when school districts are strapped for cash, over burdened, and suddenly forced to take on even more responsibility and work.
Quite honestly, I can’t make a living driving all over the state providing my time for free. But I’m taking a gamble that my short term sacrifice will pay off in a big way in the long term.
But There’s A Small Catch
As the saying goes, “there’s no free lunch.”
Ok. Here it is.
All I would ask in exchange of my services are my expenses paid to and from your district, food, and lodging costs.
I think that’s more than fair.
And if you take me up on my offer I’ll also bring you a complimentary copy of my book, Zero Tolerance Discipline Policies.
Here’s what Dr. James Doud, Professor Emeritus, of the University of Florida had to say about my book:
To the best of my knowledge, Dr. Schoonover’s analysis of the implementation of Zero Tolerance Policies in the State of Florida is the most comprehensive of its kind.
I look forward to working with you.
Please contact me to schedule your consultation.
PS – One last thing. This is obvious but worth pointing out – there’s only one of me, so if you’re at all interested in my offer, please don’t delay. I will schedule appointments on a first come, first serve basis.
