Yesterday, I was notified by FDEM that we were indeed awarded the $1.5 million dollars, but we have to accept it by the end of the calendar year.

Discussion Agenda - Please note: this segment is for informational purposes only Subject 8.1 Transfer of Obsolete School Houses Meeting Dec 16, 2024 - December Monthly School Board Meeting @ 5:45 pm Type Discussion Subject: Transfer of Obsolete School Houses Presenter Name: Richard Myhre New Information: In order to provide today's students with modern day educational facilities fitting of a 21st century education, it is the recommendation of the Superintendent to find suitable community partners for which to transfer aging and obsolete school houses to those with a vision for their continued use. We value our history, and do not wish to see the buildings demolished or sold to developers, however, the original Shadeville School(currently WEC), and Sopchoppy School are no longer suitable for modern day classrooms as required State Requirements for Educational Facilities(which govern traditional public schools). T he costs of maintaining and renovating these buildings detract from other priorities especially considering Sopchoppy does not currently serve any students, and the students being served at WEC can easily fit within the capacity at existing modern day classrooms at our newer elementary schools. The Superintendent is seeking recommendations and guidance from the board for the development of a plan of action to address these concerns and find solutions which are sufficient for all impacted parties.

Discussion Agenda - Please note: this segment is for informational purposes only Subject 8.2 Designation of School Zones Meeting Dec 16, 2024 - December Monthly School Board Meeting @ 5:45 pm Type Discussion Subject: Designation of School Zones Presenter Name: Richard Myhre New Information: Wakulla County is growing at an unprecedented rate, and the majority of new housing developments are in the central portion of our county. Traditionally, these areas have been served by Crawfordville Elementary and Shadeville Elementary. In the 2024-2025 school-year both CES and SES had to be closed to "out-of zone" requests as both eclipsed the 90% threshold of capacity(CES is closer to 99%). This growth if continued, will cause both schools to exceed their current capacity and will require the Wakulla County School Board to either rezone(which displaces existing students), bring in portable classrooms, build additional wings, or construct new schools. We do however have capacity at Riversink and Medart and it is the recommendation of the Superintendent to assign students who will move into yet to be completed developments to these schools to the greatest extent possible. This both ensures the district is making the most fiscally conservative decision, and will ensure that no students who are currently attending school in their current home are displaced. It will simply mean that families who choose to move into the homes which are responsible for the growth will be assigned to a school with capacity. In January the Superintendent proposes to request approval for the designation of school centers for the new residential developments of Misting Springs and Pleasant Ridge, as follows: Elementary School Assignment : Medart Elementary School Middle School Assignment : Wakulla Middle School Additional designations will be forthcoming as additional developments are completed and student enrollment is monitored. Dependent on the rate of growth, this practice should enable the district to make the best use of existing classrooms and should not require the acquisition of portables or the construction of new wings for another two years which will enable the district to apply for another round of Special Facility funding pending the completion of the renovation project at Wakulla High School.
