Two Big Coffee with the Commissioner Events Coming--#77 and #78

The next two coffee with the commissioner events are all lined up. Our 77th coffee with the commissioner will happen one week from today on Wednesday, November 16th from 6:30-7:30 AM featuring our County Administrator Wes Moreno, Public Safety Director Eric Gilmore, and four special guests Chandra Smiley – Community Health, Marie Mott – FL Dept of Health, Dr. Mark Stavros – Florida West Hospital and Christine Jandora – from Sacred Heart Hospital--who together will go through our soon to be implemented and recently funded CORE program to curb opioid overdoses in the community and to help prevent addiction and treat those in crisis due to dependency on narcotics locally. Should be a great discussion.

Then next month, on Wednesday December 14th from 6:30-7:30, we will have our 78th coffee live on Zoom, and my special guest will be School Board Chairman Kevin Adams. He and I will discuss the state of education locally, the Warrington Middle School issues, books in the libraries causing controversy, school closures, and a host of other issues. That is a conversation I'll be looking forward to!

We will start at 6:30 live on Facebook at www.facebook.com/CommissionerBergosh/ on both those dates--and as is always the case--residents are encouraged to participate and send questions to via the comment feature during the livestream or by sending questions in advance to district1@myescambia.com or by calling the D1 office at 850-595-4910.

Anonymous said...: By December, as far as the school board, they should have reached a decision by then about Warrington Middle. I know when you were on the school board you had to make some tough decisions.

I honestly can't fathom why kids can't read and a school is failing. It seems to be directly related to the parents and I would go as far to call it child neglect in a general sense if a parent has not provided them with a proper education.

I know you are BCC not school board now and not D2 but that will be in the news cycle and I image you and Kevin may address that.; November 15, 2022 at 10:14 AM
