If HB 411 passes, it means anyone from anywhere (any state, city, or district) can run for a school board seat, be voted in, and not have to live there until after they take office, and this will be for ALL of Florida.

Chelsi Stahr, Cathy Julian, Erin Pike, and Rebecca Yeungling break down House Bill 411, "District School Board Elections," introduced by Kevin Steele. This bill removes the need for school board candidates to live within the boundaries of their district before they are elected. If passed, this bill will affect all of Florida, not just Pasco County.

Very similar to the same issue during the last election between Stephen Meisman and Al Hernandez. Pasco County currently has three elected officials serving in office that do not live in their selected district. Yet, there is no punishment for doing so, even though it goes against their oaths.

This short video will educate the public on this issue and inform you about contacting your representative. Remember that your pens are the most powerful weapon you have.
