The State of Education in Palm Beach County
+ Guest Speaker: Michael Burke,
As the Superintendent of the High-Performing School District of Palm Beach County, he is passionate about ensuring academic excellence and paving the way to post-graduate success for the more than 170,000 students who attend 182 district-operated schools.

+ Guest Speaker: Gordon Longhofer
As President of the Palm Beach County Classroom Teachers Association, he represents more than 13,000 teachers. He began teaching in 1983 in Oklahoma and has been here since 1988, teaching Math and Vocal Music at Pahokee Middle High School for 18 years. His wife, oldest son, and daughter-in-law are also teachers. Longhofer has been an advocate for teachers as a union rep, board member, negotiations team member and Vice President. He also serves on the Governance Board and the Goals and Budget Committee of the Florida Education Association, as well as the Government Relations Committee.
One topic of discussion will be the proposed half-cent tax increase that would take place in 2026, after the full penny sales tax expires next year.
If approved by voters, these funds will help purchase, maintain, and repair/refurbish facilities and equipment to create a positive learning environment for Palm Beach County students. All District-operated and charter schools in Palm Beach County will benefit from this measure.
