From the Coral Springs City Commission:
We are extremely disappointed in the actions taken by the Broward County School Board before and during the School Boundary Rezoning Hearing held at Coral Springs High School on March 29 as a result, we will host a Special Meeting to discuss this matter on Tuesday, April 4 at 4:30 p.m. in Commission Chambers. This is a public meeting, and residents are encouraged to attend.
Immediately following our Special Meeting, we will host the Teen Political Forum (TPF) at 6:30 p.m. at the Coral Springs Center for the Arts. The city offers this event annually for high school-aged students to ask questions to state, county, and local elected officials via an open mic-style forum where they can learn more about issues that are important to them. High schools with the highest event attendance can win up to $1,000 with prizes sponsored by Baptist Health and WastePro of Florida and take home the TPF trophy.
Many important causes are nationally recognized during the month of April. Coral Springs will strive to honor these initiatives with special events and acknowledgments.
April is Autism Awareness Month. A Touch-A-Truck event will be held on Saturday, April 15 at 11 a.m. at Mullins Park where individuals with special needs will be invited to interact with and familiarize themselves with the various vehicles and equipment in our emergency response fleet. We will also hold a registration for our special needs database. The database allows first-responders to be made aware in advance if they receive a call to assist someone who has unique needs.
In April, Coral Springs will celebrate Earth Month. Residents can attend Earthfest at the Sawgrass Nature Center on Saturday, April 22 to enjoy free nature exhibits, plant giveaways, and more. For more information and a full list of upcoming city events visit coralsprings.org/events.
April is also Financial Literacy Month. Follow along on Coral Springs social media accounts for financial tips and insights from our City Commissioners all month long.
Lastly, we’ll be highlighting our 911 Dispatchers during the week of April 10 for National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. Our team of highly trained dispatchers are the first, first-responders to provide support in an emergency for Coral Springs, Parkland, and Coconut Creek. Follow our public safety social media accounts for more special features throughout the month.
