For those who wish to speak to the Board, please note the following: You are given three separate opportunities to speak. The first is during "Public Comment" on a topic not included in the agenda but pertaining to the general business of the district, and this opportunity occurs after adjournment of regular meetings. The second is on one or more agenda items upon which the Board will vote, and this opportunity occurs after the special order agenda at regular meetings and as appropriate at special meetings. The third is at public hearings, such as budget hearings and second readings on Board policy, when you are able to speak during the public hearing and regarding the topic of the public hearing. In each case, you Must register to speak with the Superintendent’s designee at the entrance to the meeting room as described below; Must register prior to the time the Chairperson calls for speakers for that speaking opportunity or before the last speaker for that opportunity concludes their comments, whichever is later; Will be called in the order you registered with the Superintendent's designee; Will be allotted three (3) minutes, which may only be extended with the approval of the chairperson or a majority vote of the Board; and May not yield your time to any other person. To avoid repetition, speakers supporting or opposing the same issue are encouraged to designate a spokesperson and have the spokesperson request that members of the audience supporting the position stand during the presentation. The following additional procedures apply depending upon the specific speaking opportunity: If a speaker wants to supplement their three (3) minute presentation, the speaker should provide the Board office with written materials prior to the meeting. Board members will make every effort to review these materials. Board members may not be able to review materials received less than two (2) business days prior to the Board meeting. The Board will not act on any matter raised by a speaker prior to the next regular meeting. If a majority of the Board desires to further consider a matter raised by a speaker, they will request the Superintendent to bring a recommendation at a future workshop or meeting or otherwise address the issue. It is generally the Board's practice not to respond to the issues brought forward by speakers except to correct inaccuracies or clarify issues. Speakers may not use any of the speaking opportunities to advertise or otherwise promote the interests of any commercial or other non-school organizations, except when recognizing school or district partners or when one of the exceptions in Policy 9700.01 applies.

Strategic Priority 2: Safe and Respectful Climate and Culture BACKGROUND : A Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) is a process that identifies a specific or target behavior that interferes with a student's educational experience. The assessment attempts to designate the particular behavior, identify the factors that support the behavior, and determine the purpose of the behavior. The process leads to an intervention plan and steps that one can test to improve the student's situation. The FBA informs a teaching plan that can develop a more acceptable alternative behavior for the student that will not interfere with the student's education. The development of a targeted FBA is challenging and extremely time-consuming. Student Services and Exceptional Student Education staff explored opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of completing these complex behavior plans and selected the Insights to Behavior Program based on the program's outstanding performance in other districts. RATIONALE : Insights to Behavior is a web-based application that empowers users to quickly create a legally defensible Behavior Intervention Plan with research-based strategies in less than an hour. The program allows users to track, manage, and modify student behaviors with interventions that match the function of the determined behavior. Additionally, with this program, school-based and district administration will have access to a single database of all behavior plans across the district. Staff reports that the program has decreased the amount of time it takes to complete these assessments and plans. Staff also reports that improved access to evidence-based interventions results in improved student behavior. After utilizing the program for the past four (4) years, it has proven to be extremely helpful, and a multi-year contract is recommended. This represents a savings of $379,350 over the life of the agreement.

FTE is generated for all DJJ students during additional summer FTE periods, including Survey 1 (July 14 - 18, 2025) and Survey 4 (June 15-19, 2026). RATIONALE : Once approved, the 2025-26 school calendar facilitates the education of students located at DJJ programs and meets DJJ requirements. The Pinellas Regional Juvenile Detention Center will follow this calendar, which meets the hourly equivalent requirements. Students will attend school 221 days, and the staff will participate in 14 days of professional learning equaling the required equivalent of 250 days, which is equal to 1,250 hours. Pace Center for Girls will follow the 250-day calendar with a reduction of 20 days for staff development, which will also meet the 1,250-hour requirement.
