Ocoee, H. 34761 Home Phone (407) 654-5055 April 03, 2003 To Whom It May Concern, I am sending this letter and resume in support of my application to become a member of the Ocoee Education Commission. I am a lifelong resident of Central Florida and was educated in the local public schools. I am now the parent of two children, ages 6 and 5,.and I am keenly interested in the quality of education they are now, and in the future will be receiving. In fact, we recently moved into our current residence, in part, because of the reputation of the local elementary school, Lake Whitney. Moreover, I often hear people lamenting the state of our educational system both locally and in the state of Florida. I believe that by joining the Ocoee Education Commission I will be able to have a positive impact on the schools and the quality of education in Ocoee. If anyone should have any questions or require any more information, please contact me at the above listed telephone number and/or address. Sincerely, David Morris DAVID MORRIS 175 Lansbrook Ct.
