Monica Colucci: Principled Leadership For UTD

Monica Colucci is running for Miami-Dade County Public School (MDCPS) Board - District 8.

Her campaign is based on her accolades as a veteran Miami-Dade County Public School teacher & United Teachers of Dade (UTD) member. 

She has also secured endorsements from extremist groups like Moms For Liberty Miami, which is run by an unlicensed mental health care professional. 

As a 26-year veteran teacher & UTD member, Mrs. Colucci should be well versed in the CODE OF ETHICS for all MDCPS Permanent Personnel.

Back in 2000, Monica Colucci helped create a DOMESTIC FOR PROFIT CORPORATION; Eagles Social Committee, INC. 

The address listed was 8375 S.W. 16 Street (Miami, FL 33155)

YES...The same address as Everglades K-8 Center. 

The same school Mrs. Colucci has spent her teaching career. 

The same school in 2001, where Mrs. Colucci was named Teacher of the Year.

Can we say conflict of interest? MDCPS employees are funded thru taxpayer money. How Mrs. Colucci thought it was appropriate to create a FOR-PROFIT Corporation using a Miami-Dade County Public SCHOOL as The Principal/Mailing address is more than suspicious.

Eagles Social Committee, INC. was created for the purpose of, "Faculty and staff education training & development."

Since when does a teacher have the authority to create a FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION, using a Miami-Dade County School (where she is employed) to provide "education training & development" to teachers?!

Not only is this a CODE OF ETHICS violation, but this is very disturbing. 

Personal Advertisements. An employee shall not advertise business or professional activities on school property or use schoolwork hours, property or services to perform or promote personal, not for profit, or commercial enterprises or to campaign or raise money for any candidates for political office.

Did Eagles Social Committee, INC. receive approval from the Miami-Dade County School Board to provide training & material to teachers? 

What training & materials were provided (if ANY) to these "teachers"? 

How much profit did Eagles Social Committee, INC. earn? 

So many lingering questions.

Unfortunately, the years of corruption from MDCPS employees have been covered up & swept away equally by UTD & MDCPS - School Board Members at our children's expense. 

A 26-year educator and teacher at Everglades K-8 Center, she said on her campaign website that she has “seen firsthand the detrimental impact of liberal policies being implemented in local schools throughout the country,” and that the “current school board member has either supported or stood idly by as progressive activists and special interests seek to promote socialist curriculums [sic] and ideologies in our schools.”

Well, Monica are you including the fraudulent FOR-PROFIT Corporation you created at Everglades K-8 Center in that bold statement? 

The candidate also served as the special assistant to the lieutenant governor in the DeSantis administration from February 2019 to August 2020, according to her website. The approach has already garnered support from top Republican officials, too. The future Senate President’s PAC has donated $1,000 to her campaign, records show.

Serving as a special assistant to Lieutenant Governor Janet Nunez sounded like the opportune time to expose the "detrimental impact of liberal policies". 

If Mrs. Collucci was not able to use her knowledge to help advocate for change while working in the DeSantis administration, how can we believe her now? You can not.

Voting for Monica Colucci is just a replacement vote for another special interest representative & a UTD teacher. Our children deserve better.
