Lisa Brooks, the director of the Saint Rita Pre-School Program in Santa Rosa Beach (located in the diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee) came to Tallahassee on September 17, 2019 to participate in an early learning panel. This discussion was part of the Florida House of Representatives’ Education Committee meeting that was held during the first committee week of the 2020 Legislative Session. Ms. Brooks was one of three preschool directors who joined three early learning coalition officials on the panel. They were asked to discuss ways of identifying and rewarding quality providers in the Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) Education and School Readiness programs.
