County Seeking Applications for the Children Service Council
Â
Leon County Government is currently seeking applications from qualified individuals interested in serving on the Children’s Services Council of Leon County. Approved by voters during the November 2020 General Election, the Children Services Council is an independent special district that is responsible for funding children's services throughout the County by levying ad valorem taxes estimated at up to $8 million annually.
Â
All applications must be completed and submitted electronically no later than January 6, 2023, at LeonCountyFL.gov/CSCApplication. To be eligible, applicants must be a resident of Leon County for the previous 24-month period and be willing to submit an annual Statement of Financial Interests Form.Â
The Children Services Council (CSC) functions to support organizations that serve children and families in Leon County and will work to identify children’s needs in the community, target those needs with evidence-based programs, and evaluate results. In accordance with Florida Statute, the CSC is comprised of ten members, five of whom are appointed by the Governor’s Office from a list of candidates submitted by the Leon County Board of County Commissioners. This list will include at least three recommendations for each of the two upcoming vacancies (a minimum total of 6 candidates).
As part of the application, applicants are asked to attach a resume or provide a brief explanation of how their skills, experience, or educational background will contribute to the CSC. Additionally, Florida Statute requires that, to the extent possible, those appointed represent the demographic diversity of the population of Leon County. To assure the fullest consideration, applications should thoroughly respond to each question.
