Statewide Interest:
Teaching Holocaust education is a statutory mandate under FS 233.061; therefore, these funds will help school districts comply with state law and allow the Florida Holocaust Museum to provide the materials to a greater number of school districts. Currently, the museum provides curriculum materials and training to more than seventeen (17) school districts free of charge. As a result of increased demand and cost for these materials among a greater number of school districts, the Florida Holocaust Museum does not have the resources to continue providing thses needed services.
