Right before spring break, our Hurricanes had the awesome opportunity to spend the day reading to the students at Ballard Elementary School! With literacy being an important focus in our community, our team — led by senior @RoninDangler — visited every classroom and read a book selected by the teacher. Our players didn’t stop there. They joined students for lunch, played at recess, and even spent some time learning alongside them in the classroom. This tradition has been a special part of Manatee Football for years, and we’re proud to bring it back as we continue teaching our players the value of community, leadership, and service. #CommunityMatters #GoCanes

@CoachRossLRHS @AndrewRamjit @PayFLCoaches Doesn’t require school district to do anything though.

@AndrewRamjit @PayFLCoaches Would love to know what exactly it means. Just a smidge of details or context would be amazing.

They said it could not be done. That Florida would never change. That unions and school districts would never allow it to happen. They were right about one thing. Systems like that never change on their own. But here is what they got wrong. I was never going to take no for an answer. For nearly 50 years, Florida high school coaches put in hundreds, even thousands of unpaid hours. Time away from family. Long nights. Early mornings. Unpaid summers. All for the kids and the profession. These men and women give everything to our students, schools, and communities, yet for decades they were treated like they did not matter. Today, that injustice ended. 4 years of advocacy, sacrifice, and relentless work. Hours of research. Hours of strategy. Days without sleep. Every single moment led here. It was not easy. But it was worth every second to know tens of thousands of lives are about to change because we refused to stay quiet and we stood together. This was never about personal legacy. It was always about the profession. No matter what unions or school districts claim, coaching is a profession, and those who give so much will finally get the respect they deserve. To our team at @PayFLCoaches, the thousands of coaches who believed, the sponsors who backed us, and my wife and kids who carried me when I was ready to throw in the towel... WE DID IT! #PaidFLCoaches

@CoachRossLRHS @AndrewRamjit @PayFLCoaches Does 2 things; allows boosters to pay coaches(already happening though) if school board approves and then superintendent can put coach on 12 month contract as athletic administrator but no longer in union.

@CoachMattina @JustinBarneyTV @PayFLCoaches @CoachWhitlock Yes it unfortunately will not change much. Schools have boosters paying extra anyways. The 12 month position HC can move to with superintendent approval is nonunion, athletic administrator and superintendent and principal decide what job description is. Wont be many of those

@JustinBarneyTV @PayFLCoaches @CoachWhitlock Does it change the total stipend count per district? Or is that at the district level? Will there be a floor or total cap of how many per stipend?

🚨🚨🚨 WE DID IT! Legislation has passed in Florida! After decades of being denied what they deserve, Florida coaches will finally be valued in action, not words. A HISTORIC moment for our profession. LET THE WHOLE STATE HEAR IT! #PAIDFLCOACHES
