The proposed building will suport a pilot project that tests a change in Florida's mandatory requirement for school attendance from age 16 to 18.Neighboring districts have already visited our project.While twelve states already have such a requirement, mandatory attendance to age 18 is foreign to the State's other counties.If implemented in Florida, this change would help us to solve the State's workforce problems.
