Teaching‑and‑learning staff said a small local pilot (about 250 students across middle and high school classes) and a short Khan‑run competition produced measurable teacher and student engagement; the district placed fifth in a national Khan Academy AI challenge. Flagler staff asked the board to approve a memorandum of understanding (MOU) and related data‑sharing agreement with the University of Florida so the district can receive grant‑funded access to Conmigo for an expanded group of students and to participate in research. The materials presented state the in‑kind value for district access is approximately $73,000.

Staff explained the scope of the request: (1) Conmigo is a Khan‑built AI tutor embedded in Khan Academy that supports guided questioning and step‑by‑step problem solving aligned to Florida standards; (2) Conmigo usage can be accessed via ClassLink on school or personal devices; and (3) the partnership would provide the district with de‑identified interaction analytics for research while requiring a separate MOU and a data‑privacy addendum ensuring student data are protected and hosted in the United States.

Board members asked how student interactions are stored and who can view them; staff said teachers and district analytics teams can access usage history, and researchers would receive de‑identified data for analysis under the MOU. Questions about the number of student “chats” were answered: pilot classes averaged between roughly six and 14 Conmigo chat interactions per student depending on the site, a measure staff said correlates to student engagement and formative practice. Staff also described use cases for SAT, AP and Florida standards support.

Because the Lassner Center invited Flagler to the grant‑funded program based on the earlier local pilot, staff characterized the MOU as time‑sensitive and asked the board to approve the MOU and data‑sharing terms at the district’s upcoming night meeting so the district can proceed. No district cost was identified for initial participation; staff said Conmigo/Khan and UF would supply access under the grant. Staff also said the district will control classroom implementation and teacher oversight.

The board heard the presentation and the MOU language will be presented for formal approval at the next regular board meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","04/08/25 Agenda Workshop","oneSentenceSummary","Flagler County Schools received an invitation from the University of Florida’s Lassner Center to join a grant‑funded pilot that would provide districtwide access to Khan Academy’s Conmigo AI tutor for grades 6–12; staff asked the board to approve an MOU and data‑sharing agreement so Flagler can participate.","taxTitle","Flagler, School Districts, Florida","taxId",65392,"location","Florida","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6077353,"Board delays decision on outside summer literacy program after members request curriculum, outcomes and references",3179,9874000,13053000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2964783-966e9af8aeac40ca476d2b559cc8f015&start=9874&end=13053","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2964783-966e9af8aeac40ca476d2b559cc8f015/thumbnail_9874000.jpg","/articles/6077353/Florida/Board-delays-decision-on-outside-summer-literacy-program-after-members-request-curriculum-outcomes-and-references","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6077353-42245ce01f3c03b88c12672ebb0aa323/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442635&Signature=XOy-TOvQO9NdmOAnq3PVq8ermnEsMAlEjiob4mHIDQB3eewD4acJw-1iZXRy~PCxzIibTDmGMU~9-k0UQx2yrT1YwnQslfzw9rm3O8SAEj5xDkEiFCJrQaQWtNQyX2bZFPbe1GzMrYfTDFxVi3khJOp7ZxjfCygUMMW6afMVCzbhemt-r500g9lVJGSPVKnVSA8YwJYM5ow89epp73WsowmwRGhXfpED0~KNd8rYQbM8soJJpgOnB0UgnM~f~OII~R3tpsOKpPVdlmB6R9mfztnw60wD~~7wAyvDAQgCkcsSMaFwdH7CbTy9jt1kQ9DKlFunxhfvDaiRTC6aGAl0zQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A nonprofit called Catalyst asked the Flagler County School Board to add the organization to the district’s waived use‑of‑facilities list so it could run a summer academy at a district school. Catalyst representatives described a multi‑week program formerly run in Volusia County that focuses on literacy, mentoring and student engagement and said the program has multi‑year experience and community partners.

Board members and district staff raised procedural and programmatic questions: whether the proposed activities meet district review standards for curriculum and student protection, what measurable outcomes the program tracks (graduation, reading progress or attendance), how applicants are selected, expected staffing and background checks, insurance coverage, custodial/overtime cost treatment, and whether use of facilities waivers would set a precedent for other community providers.

Catalyst staff said the program is volunteer‑ and donor‑funded, uses college‑age and a small number of older youth staff supervised by a site director, carries insurance and reported graduation and positive outcomes from prior cohorts in their own reporting. District staff noted that use‑of‑facilities waivers typically cover the facility fee but not overtime custodial costs and that a formal curriculum and references would be needed for the board to finish vetting the request.

After discussion the board asked Catalyst to supply curriculum or weekly plans, references from prior school partners, and data the nonprofit holds on outcomes; district staff will accept and circulate those documents for board review. The board withdrew the item from immediate consideration and directed staff to reintroduce the request only after those materials are provided and reviewed; no waiver or approval was granted at the April 8 meeting.","A community nonprofit seeking a waived use‑of‑facilities slot for a summer literacy and mentoring academy was asked to provide curriculum, outcome data and references before the Flagler County School Board will approve a facility waiver.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6077362,"School board hears pitch for statewide educator health trust; asks staff to model local savings",3242,1027000,4269000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2964783-966e9af8aeac40ca476d2b559cc8f015&start=1027&end=4269","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2964783-966e9af8aeac40ca476d2b559cc8f015/thumbnail_1027000.jpg","/articles/6077362/Florida/School-board-hears-pitch-for-statewide-educator-health-trust-asks-staff-to-model-local-savings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6077362-f2492eb9555f04ee6fd43b37cbc8e938/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442635&Signature=fcecmOJYJJ4xu8zGIIkOZqMrYYPH-V-TlTUK9-ad4i7AsxP9Ly2B5GRYI~3gWXi5T3DqnGYis8AYycxfa4wKtKv~ANJDCi~PW4Dp4vKq19~l1d1DjZWmepodYyIVD1x~SdTNoF4cgCx9-smHzR7oL4cC-~JY4lfXp5kCkBXirXDLmQlQCaRZ2Pcg6zmFk7hXIUz3E0nlyNvNDhd4HkyipD8iuIrtd8df2IMrvn8~VfSP87ZKDnEaNe94D5rbSPFtbnatvxERJ54stc0OkyhWudYVvcNDWaZnnIiGgsTUGoBqauc4LdCPylSFg66aXRw~c-6jnH4DUqXNGFMMq8lGNQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Consultants for the Florida Educator Health Trust, known as Fleet, briefed the Flagler County School Board on April 8 about a statewide, district‑backed approach to self‑funded employee health coverage and risk sharing. Fleet representatives described how pooling stop‑loss and surplus smoothing across many districts can lower premiums and return dividends in good years.

Fleet consultant Mr. Albritton said Fleet evolved from an earlier program (FSHIP) and is now sponsored by the Florida Association of District Superintendents; the trust has been reviewed by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation and outside legal counsel, he said. He described Fleet’s approach: districts remain autonomous for plan design and medical carrier selection but share certain layers of risk in a pooled structure to gain purchasing scale and statistical credibility.

The trust presentation emphasized three potential savings levers: buy stop‑loss protection at group scale, share operational administrative costs via a single administrative services arrangement, and pool “marginal” high‑cost claims in a band between a district attachment point and commercial stop‑loss so the group can return dividends rather than having stop‑loss carriers retain all surplus. Mr. Albritton used examples showing districts spending roughly $400 per enrolled employee annually on stop‑loss; Fleet argues pooling can lower that portion and yield overall gross savings estimated in the presentation at roughly 6–15% on total spend for member districts, with short‑term examples of higher relative returns on the flat per‑employee fee charged by Fleet (the slide deck cited a 226% return relative to the fee for the early members, a figure the presenter clarified during Q&A as percent of the fee rather than percent of total premiums).

Board members pressed Fleet on member count and timing. Mr. Albritton said Fleet currently includes four school districts, is in conversations with six additional districts, and that Fleet models showed a break‑even statistical mass around 3,500 plan lives and material additional savings as membership grows. He described work underway on “laser” claims (single‑member catastrophic case loadings) and said Fleet and its actuaries are developing options to reduce the financial impact of previously excluded high‑cost cases as membership scales.

Several board members and Superintendent Moore asked how Fleet affects employees’ monthly contributions. Mr. Albritton drew a distinction between controlling the total premium (claims + admin) and the board‑level policy decision about how much of the premium the district pays versus employees’ contributions; Fleet said it manages the premium side but does not set local contribution policy.

Board members asked about governance, vendor neutrality, and conflicts of interest. Fleet said districts retain autonomy for carrier choice, PBM choice and agent relationships and that Fleet charges a transparent per‑employee per‑month fee rather than back‑end commissions. Fleet named admitted stop‑loss carriers (Sun Life, Gerber) and examples of participating medical carriers (Florida Blue, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna), and said each district keeps plan design control.

After extended Q&A about modeling, laser claims, and timeline, the board gave staff direction to pursue more detailed modeling. District staff will request Fleet run a district‑level actuarial model and report results to the district insurance committee and the board; the insurance committee includes bargaining‑unit representatives and will review any confidential data in a closed session if required. Fleet indicated it may approve upfront modeling work when its executive committee clears requests; district staff said they would await that sign‑off and notify the board.

Board members asked that any modeling include: (1) expected gross percent savings on total spend and on stop‑loss costs; (2) the per‑employee fee Fleet would charge; (3) projected dividends and how those are delivered; (4) examples showing the effect of lasers and the trust’s proposed mitigation; and (5) a list of current participating districts and the size bands represented. Superintendent Moore said staff will coordinate with the board’s contracted broker (Brown & Brown) as part of analysis and bring the Fleet model and any legal/contract implications back to the insurance committee and then to the full board.

The board did not vote on joining Fleet at this meeting; the action recorded was explicit direction to staff to obtain district‑specific modeling and return with analysis and recommendations for committee review and future board action.","Consultants for the newly relaunched Florida Educator Health Trust (\"Fleet\") outlined how districts that join a statewide self‑insured trust can lower stop‑loss costs and smooth claim volatility.

The proposed change doubles the statute‑listed amounts that have not been updated in decades. District staff summarized the draft change as: breakfast from $6 to $12, lunch from $11 to $22, and dinner from $19 to $38, effective Jan. 1. Staff said the policy also references an $80 per‑day actual per‑diem in the statute for full‑day travel and explained how the policy would apply if meals are provided by a conference or included at a hotel.

Board members asked staff to research whether using the federal General Services Administration (GSA) per‑diem tiers — which vary by location and range (e.g., $59–$79 for meals and incidental expenses in FY24 for some locations) — would be a better administrative approach for out‑of‑state travel or higher‑cost Florida destinations, and how administrative complexity would change. Staff said most district travel is in‑state and that GSA tiers may be administratively heavier but agreed to return with a comparison and a proposed travel standard operating procedure (SOP) explaining per‑diem calculations and receipts handling.

Finance staff noted travel reimbursements have been modest historically (roughly $5,500 total in FY23–24) and that the proposed increases would raise the projected annual travel reimbursement to $10–$12K, which staff said the current budget could absorb. The board asked staff to bring back GSA‑comparison data, clearer language about per‑diem rules (for example, how a hotel breakfast affects reimbursement), and a budget update at the next meeting prior to final adoption; staff agreed to return with that information.","District staff proposed doubling per‑meal reimbursement amounts now set by Florida statute (breakfast $6, lunch $11, dinner $19) and asked to advertise updated policy to become effective Jan. 1; board asked staff to compare the proposed flat increases with federal GSA per‑diem tiers for travel and return with a clarified travel SOP and budgetary ","actionData","errors"]
