Here is 2011-2012 meeting schedule: 8/28, 10/9, 11/3, 12/11, 1/22 and 3/11. All meetings are on Sunday and will start at 6:30p.

Jessica Lunsford Act (JLA): based on the lack of progess in seeking to lower the $102 JLA Level II fee, it is likely it will remain the same for the foreseeable future. Therefore, all referees have to be re-screened every five years. Likewise, any new referee or any referee without a Level II badge must have Level II clearance to officiate in Pinellas County. Level II clearance is processed through the Pinellas County School Board website. The icon to use reads EMERGENCY, JESSICA LUNSFORD, and SHELTER INFO. Contact Tom Crumblin if you have any questions.

For those applying for the Jessica Lunsford Level II clearance, some additional information is provided to ease the process:

After you reach the Pinellas County School Board website and click on the Jessica Lunsford button, you will be asked if you are a Renew or New Vendor. You must select New Vendor (it does not matter that you received Level II clearance when Pinellas County managed the clearances - you are a New Vendor to PrideRock). You will be asked for the PSOA vendor number, which is V000002855. Then you can make the other selections. PrideRock is the company that is contracted by Pinellas County to provide Level II clearances. Just so everyone understands, once you have had your Level II badge for five years, your badge needs to be renewed.

Once the screening is complete and you are approved, the Level II badge is mailed to PSOA and we get the badge to you.

PSOA meetings are held at Piper Fire in Largo.
