Florida Technology Student Association and Foundation, Inc. (FL TSA) is a career and technical organization operating under State Board of Education rules. As part of its annual program, Florida TSA will host its Annual State Conference and Competitions on February 22 nd --February 25 th , 2012 at the Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort on Amelia Island,
FL.
This is the 34 th Annual Florida TSA Conference and Competition. It is at this event where students have a chance to showcase their hard work and efforts by competing in the many STEM related events offered at both the middle school and high school levels.
This packet includes everything you will need to get ready for this year’s conference. Take time to review this package carefully. If you have affiliated your chapter for 2011-2012 you should have the 2012-2013 Middle School or the 2011-
2012 High School Technology Activities competitive events CD. The appropriate CD is sent to all chapters once they have affiliated for the year. Please be fully aware of rules, regulations, and specifications for the various events your students enter. The guidelines of the Technology Activities CD, as always, will be strictly followed.
FL TSA uses an on line registration system. Advisors will be responsible for entering their students’ names and the various events the students plan to enter. Registration is open until Friday, January 27, 2012 at which time late registration will continue at an additional charge of $10 per person. Late registration will continue until February 3, 2012, after which registration will close. Once registration has closed the students and schools listed cannot be changed.
A link to the online registration system can be found at www.floridatsa.com
. Payment for registrations must be mailed to the FL TSA office and be postmarked no later than February 3, 2012. There will not be any onsite registrations. Please note that this policy is not flexible. Do not mail payments late. FL TSA is not responsible for checks that do not arrive prior to the conference. Those arriving at the conference with no payment may, at the option of the board of directors, face sanctions. Any and all other arrangements should be handled in writing prior to the opening of the conference with the
Executive Director of FL TSA.
The conference registration fee is $65.00 per person for students and advisors. (Late registration is $75.00
)
Alumni are required to complete a Conference Assistant Application and submit the application with a deposit of $30.00.
The deposit is refundable upon arrival at the hotel site. Applications will be reviewed and a determination will be made as to which alumni will be accepted to attend the State Conference as Conference Assistants. (Conference Assistants should not register in the on line system. Their registration will be handled administratively.) Alumni, not serving as Conference
Assistants, are welcome to attend with a chapter and should register as alumni with the chapter with which they will be attending. This arrangement would be subject to your local school/chapter advisor’s acceptance. All checks should be made payable to Florida TSA.
The conference registration fee is $25.00 per person. (Late fee would be $35.00) These registrations must be made under an affiliated school by the Chapter Advisor of that school the guest or chaperone will be attending with.
Judges that sign up and fulfill the judging requirements for one or more events will receive free conference registration.
Judges will be required to select an event to judge at the time of online registration submission.
Notes:
Please be aware that due to meeting space requirements, Florida TSA assesses a fee of $75.00
per person for anyone electing not to stay at an officially designated conference hotel property. The only exception to this policy applies to those schools that reside within a distance of twenty-five miles from the hotel and are commuting from home on a daily basis.
For information on the hotel registration, please see Section II of this packet

The following is a breakdown of grade levels used to categorize competitive event entries:
Level I Grades 6, 7, 8 (Middle School)
Level II Grades 9, 10, 11, 12 (High School)
Level III Grades 6, 7, 8 Exceptional Education Division (Middle School)
Level IV Grades 9, 10, 11, 12 Exceptional Education Division (High School)
These levels are for students that fall under the “standard” educational path. Level I is the middle school division and Level
II is the high school division. The ninth grade is to compete with the school in which it resides. Currently all Florida public school systems place the 9 th grade in the high school. (This has not always been the case and may change again in the future.)
The purpose for this level is to allow students with disabilities to participate in all activities that Florida TSA offers.
Examples of student who would qualify for these levels are students that are Deaf, Hard of Hearing; Autistic, Mentally
Handicapped, Educable, Trainable, Sever; or Orthopedic or Visual Impaired, that cannot compete at Level I or II because of their need for modifications are eligible to compete at this level. These students would require modifications related to their handicap that would change the event making it unfair for them to compete at Level I or II.
Students that are ESE, ESOL, or have IEP’s do not automatically qualify for Level III or IV accommodations. Use discretion when determining the appropriate level of competition and as always, think of what’s best for the student’s overall success in life.
Registration and Required Level III and IV Documentation:
Level III and IV entries must be registered via the online registration system. In the online registration system, Level III events are located just below the Level I events; Level IV events are listed below the Level II events. Although you can register all levels on line, Level III and Level IV schedules are not listed on line. Level III and Level IV schedules are the same as the Level I and Level II schedules.
Level III and IV students will have their disability considered when judging. To do this, each advisor must fill out the attached form for each Level III or IV student and mail it, with a postmark date of February 1, 2012, to the Florida TSA office. This form must be filled out for each event the student has entered.
Judges will use this form to consider the student’s need modifications while judging the entry. On the form you need to include modifications that are needed to allow the student to compete.
Accommodations:
Florida TSA may not be aware of the specific modifications that are required for individual students. It will be up to the advisor to make arrangements for their students. We will do whatever is possible to make these activities accessible. If there is something that is needed, that we may be able to provide, call Maureen Hudson, Conference Manager at (941) 773-4626 or email: fltsacm@gmail.com.
Items to Consider:
All Level I and II events will be offered to students qualifying to receive Level III and IV accommodations.
Students may enter only one Level (I, II, III, or IV). Students should be encouraged to enter level I or II and only enter
Level III or IV if their disability prevents them from competing in Level I or Level II without accommodations.
Please note that some events require students to place in the top 3 at the state conference to attend the TSA National
Conference. Level III and IV students may not be allowed to represent Florida at the national conference because the national conference does not have a Level III or IV Division.
Level III and IV students would not include students who require accommodations such as signing interpreter or large print unless it changes the intent of the event.

TSA prides itself in the good conduct of its members. Unbecoming conduct or violation of rules by an individual may result in: the individual being restricted from all activities and confined to the housing room and/or the loss of contest points for the chapter. In addition, any gross violation may result in the individual being sent home early. Minor violations will be referred to the chapter advisor for action. An independent discipline committee will decide penalties for gross violations. In an attempt to protect everyone involved in Florida TSA sponsored events, the following behavioral expectations and discipline policies have been established:
1. Possession or usage of any weapon, alcohol, or controlled substance is as follows:
Florida TSA will enforce all existing state statutes (law) and school board policies concerning the possession of firearms, weapons, controlled substances including alcohol and tobacco and will notify the appropriate local authorities.
2. Curfew:
There is a set curfew for each day of a conference. All students must be in their rooms at the time stated in the conference program. If a student is found outside of his/her room after curfew, the advisor will be notified by the adult head of security to pick up the student from the designated holding area. The student will be released only to the respective chapter advisor.
Additionally, advisors should set a good example by not scheduling chapter activities after curfew.
3. Balcony’s, Alcoves, Stairwells:
It is a felony in the State of Florida for debris or any item to be thrown from any upper level (i.e. balcony, alcove or stairwell). “Debris of any kind being thrown will result in eviction of the entire room”. Florida TSA will not make provisions for those who choose to violate Florida Law. In addition, all guests associated with a room eviction will be disqualified for the remainder of the conference and will forego eligibility of any and all awards. There will be no waiver from this agreement; therefore, it is strongly urged that all conference attendees are made aware of this agreement.
4. Hats and Head Covering:
Head covering/gear is not to be worn inside the building.
5. Name Badges:
Name badges and attendee wristbands must be worn at all times by students, advisors, alumni, guests and chaperones. No one will be allowed in the conference area without a name badge and wristband.
6. Pool Facilities
Students may use the hotel swimming pools only under the supervision of their advisor, or adult chaperone designated by the chapter advisor, the advisor/chaperone must be present on the pool deck.
7. Stereos:
In order to maintain appropriate noise levels, students are not allowed to bring stereos with external speakers on conference property at any time.
8. Hotel Rooms and Hallways:
Running, yelling or talking loudly, and slamming doors in hallways, corridors, lobbies, and meeting space will not be tolerated. Please keep in mind that FL TSA and its members are not the only guests staying at the hotel.
9.
Elevators:
Please utilize manners when entering doors and elevators allowing guests to exit before entering.
Please Note:
Students should not bring personal valuables such as expensive jewelry, electronic games, or excessive cash that could be lost or stolen.

Rules Interpretation Panel Grievance forms will be located in the CRC room. DO NOT USE those found in the competitive events guides (CD). Advisors must pick up a form, fill it out, and return it to the CRC. Forms will be turned over to the
Executive Director. The Executive Director will meet with members of the Rules Interpretation Panel to review the grievance and make a final determination. Once a decision has been made, the advisor whom submitted the form will be notified. Determinations are final. Grievances will be handled in the order they are submitted.
As long as we have contests with set rules and human judges, there will be disagreements in procedure, interpretation, and scoring procedures. The FL TSA Board, the Executive Director, and the Conference Manager work very diligently to avoid contest inconsistencies that lead to grievance procedures. That being said, we ask that all of our members, advisors, chaperones, judges, and coordinators be professional and considerate of the volunteers and other personnel involved in the competitive events at all times.
1. Travel for students must comply with all local School Board policies and FL TSA policies (if more strict).
2. Permission to Travel forms must be completed for each student and filed as per local School Board policy. Advisors must have, for ready reference, a name and telephone number for parental contact for each student.
3. FL TSA requires there may be no more than 10 students per advisor or chaperone. Some county policies may require a lower student/chaperone ratio and such policies must be adhered to. Advisors are responsible for the security and safety of his/her students at all times. Curfew is set each day and students are to be in their rooms and quiet at the stated time in the conference program. Only adults and alumni members may be out of their rooms after Curfew.
4. Advisors should be financially prepared for all possibilities while traveling.
5. Each TSA member who attends must have:
a. An active membership status;
b. The approval of the Florida TSA chapter advisor;
c. The approval of the school administration;
d. The approval of the parents or guardian;
e. Minimum GPA of 2.0.
Although there is no limit to the number of student members who may attend from each chapter, each chapter shall be entitled to only two voting delegates. State officers have one vote each and do not count toward your chapter’s two voting delegates. These delegates are the only members who may vote in the election and business meeting.
Voting delegates from a chapter must be seated by the time and place stated in the conference program in order to receive full voting privileges. State officers must also be present at delegate seating for their own officer vote, and cannot serve as a chapter delegate.
Note of Explanation: FL TSA does not presume to tell chapter advisors how to run their chapters; however, voting delegates are generally student leaders who act as your chapter’s representatives and should vote to represent your chapter’s feelings on the issues and candidates. The “two votes” belong to your chapter’s membership, not the two individuals selected to represent your chapter.

Florida TSA will adhere to the National TSA Dress Code, which is as follows:
Chapter advisors, parents and chaperones are responsible for seeing that all TSA student members wear official TSA attire, professional TSA attire, or business casual TSA attire as occasions may require. Official TSA attire, professional TSA attire, and business casual TSA attire are considered appropriate dress for related conference activities and public appearances. Since adults (advisors, parents, Alumni and guests) serve as role models at TSA conferences and activities, they are expected to dress appropriately for all related occasions they attend. Students must adhere to the TSA dress code requirements as listed below:
During general sessions, student members must wear Official TSA attire . Adults are expected to dress appropriately.
TSA contestants must refer to the TSA Curriculum Recourse Guide for specific attire requires for each competition.
Official TSA Attire, Professional TSA Attire or Business Casual Attire must be worn at all times when in the lobby, prefunction and competitive event areas.
Headsets should not be worn by students, alumni, or advisors while in official dress in conference areas such as competitive events, general sessions, and hotel lobbies.
COLD WEATHER NOTE: Please remember that we will be in Northern Florida in February this year for the state competition. With the venue and date change, we all need to remember that it could be quite cold. Please remind your members to pack plenty of jackets, sweatshirts, long pants, and outerwear for possible outside evening events. We want everyone to enjoy themselves, and do not want lack of planning in packing to hinder anyone from participating or having a great time!

(Short shorts, and tank tops will NOT be allowed.)
Please remember, that you represent Florida TSA, your advisors, school, administration, parents, and most of all, yourself.
You’re a member of a great organization that produces exceptional leaders. We expect you to use great judgment at all times.

This schedule is tentative. Rooms may need to be changed. Please refer to the conference program for final schedule.
The schedule as posted is tentative but will only change in the case of error or changes made by the hotel. Students and advisors are expected to determine event entries based on this schedule without creating any event conflicts.
Please do not expect individual changes and conflicts to be addressed during the conference. Should Florida TSA have to make any unexpected last minute changes, every effort to accommodate those schedule conflicts will be made.
Should you notice an error in this schedule, please contact Maureen Hudson at fltsacm@gmail.com. Schedule revisions will be posted on the Florida TSA website.
