✏️ Turns out there are no easy A’s when you’re running a $1.5 billion school district.

Pinellas County Schools has made impressive academic progress over the past decade. Now, declining enrollment and changing demographics are creating a whole new set of problems to solve.

This Friday, Laura Hine takes us inside the numbers—and the decisions—affecting 75,000 students and 14,000 employees across Pinellas County.

No textbook required. No test at the end.

But we do expect you to raise your hand. 🙋

Bring your questions and join the conversation about what’s next for public education—and how our business and community leaders can help.

👋 Meet Jamie, your 2026–27 LSPAA President!

In her first Letter from the President, Jamie shares how Leadership St. Pete gave her much more than business connections—it gave her friendships, support and a community she didn’t expect.

She also shares what she’s focused on this year: listening to our alumni, strengthening connections across classes and making sure LSPAA continues to grow in a way that supports the volunteers behind it all.

And because every good introduction needs a few fun facts: Jamie is also a business owner, mom of two, hobby winemaker and aerial dancer. 🍷✨
