From international summits to schools opening their doors, there’s plenty happening in South Florida over the next few days. Here’s a preview of The Week Ahead:
Gov. Scott Opens Latin American Summit: Gov. Rick Scott will officially open the 2017 Latin American Summit in Miami on Monday. The event brings lawmakers, diplomats, business leaders and religious groups together from around the world and focuses on their shared impact and partnerships with the state of Florida.
Final Schools to Re-Open in Florida Keys: In the Keys, the final two schools will re-open their doors Monday morning, after sustaining serious damage during Hurricane Irma. Big Pine Academy and Sugarloaf School will welcome students back to their classrooms, three weeks after that massive storm made landfall in the area.
Cruise Ship Full of Evacuees to Arrive in South Florida: While President Trump makes his way to Puerto Rico on Tuesday, a cruise ship full of evacuees will make its way to South Florida. Royal Caribbean sent a ship full of supplies to Puerto Rico and St. Croix and will bring back thousands of people trying to get off the island. They will arrive in Port Everglades Tuesday afternoon.
Job Fair at Dolphin Mall: With the holiday shopping season around the corner, Dolphin Mall is planning a massive job fair this week to make sure they have enough employees on hand. Doors open at the event Tuesday afternoon, and will remain open until 8 p.m. The event is being hosted on the second floor of Ramblas Plaza near the Cobb Theater. Hundreds of part-time and full-time positions are being offered at dozens of retail stores.
DACA Deadline: Thursday is deadline day for dreamers to renew their DACA status. It’s a hot topic of conversation in Washington, where some lawmakers have asked for an extension to the deadline after the hurricanes in Florida and Texas. President Trump ended the DACA program, while also giving congress a six-month window to possibly save the policy.
Church Shooter Appears in Court: On Friday, the man charged with the deadly shooting inside a Tennessee church will appear in court for the first time. Authorities in Nashville charged Emanuel Kidega Samson with murder after killing one person and wounding several others in what the shooter reported called “revenge” for the Charleston church shooting.
