Foundation helps Santaluces High School regain driver's education program

After more than 15 years without a driver’s education program, Santaluces High School,  6880 Lawrence Road, will have a state-of-the-art class thanks to the donations of the Dori Slosberg Foundation.  

The organization, which brings in $12 million to $14 million each year, has helped schools in more than 60 counties in Florida bring driver’s programs to their students.

The foundation donated 40 remote controls for the Road Wise Digital Classroom for students to use during the class. The percentage of students getting questions correct will help instructors to know when it is time to move onto the next section.

Former Florida Rep. Irv Slocberg started the foundation after he lost his daughter, Dori, to a fatal car accident in 1996 because she did not have her seatbelt on at the time.

With the new addition of the program at the Lantana high school, more than 120 students have signed up to take the class.

For information, contact Tara Kirschner, executive director of the Dori Solsberg Foundation, at 561-488-7900.
