Dr. Alan Birch, principal of Lincoln High School, and Coach Crowder joined the meeting to highlight the students' accomplishments. The board and superintendent praised Coach Crowder for long service and success; officials said the recognition honored both athletic achievement and the coach's impact on students.

Coach Crowder introduced three student-athletes: Joe Tucker, a senior wrestler and state champion competing at 113 pounds; Sayuri Casares, a multi-time state medalist and state champion who nearly made a Puerto Rico national team; and Bridal Coulier, a bowler who is a USBC champion, district champion and a scholarship recipient to SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design). The shielded bowling program began as a club about two years ago and later became a varsity sport, the coach and principal said.

\"They work really, really hard,\" Coach Crowder said of his athletes, praising their time commitment and dedication.

Board members and the superintendent thanked the coach for his service; the superintendent noted the district will honor employees with 30 or more years of service during Teacher Appreciation Week. Members congratulated the athletes on state-level success and highlighted the bowling scholarship as the program's first such award.

Background and context
District officials said the bowling program at Lincoln began as a club two years ago and has since developed into a sport that produced the district's first bowling scholarship recipient, who will bowl at SCAD. The students' state championships were presented during the superintendent's spotlight portion of the meeting.

No formal board action was required for the recognition.

A district staff member called attention to the survey during the April 22 business meeting and said the superintendent and school board use the data to guide improvements. The district expects to prepare and share survey results with schools and the community about two weeks after the survey closes.

The speaker urged teachers, staff, parents and guardians to complete the survey; the district administers a separate climate survey to school personnel and surveys students by the three grade bands listed above. The office did not provide a participation target or past-response rates during the meeting.

Timeline and participation
- Survey opened: April 22, 2025.
- Survey closes: April 29, 2025, at 11:59 p.m.

Dr. Gail, a district staff member, said the district received a letter from Renaissance Academy and has notified parents about options for returning to Leon County Schools. The district and Charter Schools USA have planned a site visit with Renaissance Academy administrators for a Friday in May to \"further establish the criteria for closing the school down at the end of the year,\" Dr. Gail said; an exact calendar date for the site visit was not specified in the public remarks.

Dr. Gail said the letter attached to the agenda explains steps for parents who do not plan to return to district schools. She described continued communications with Renaissance Academy leadership and emphasized the district's readiness to welcome the students back to Leon County Schools.

Board members said they received an update on the matter during an agenda review workshop the prior day. No formal vote or action was required or taken on the agenda item, which was listed as informational.

The district asked community members to watch for follow-up communications with specific instructions for parents and guardians. Officials said the site visit will include Renaissance Academy administrators and Charter Schools USA representatives to confirm next steps through the end of the academic year.

Context and next steps
Renaissance Academy's administration submitted a letter to the district that was attached to the meeting agenda; that letter's second page outlines steps for families if they will not return to Leon County Schools. The district plans to share additional details with parents after the site visit; no enrollment deadlines, transfer logistics or financial figures were read into the public discussion.

No vote was required on this agenda item; board members were briefed and accepted the informational update.","Leon County Schools officials told the board they have invited students from Renaissance Academy to return to district schools and have scheduled a site visit with the charter's administration and Charter Schools USA to clarify closure criteria.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6265420,"School board unanimously approves policy advertisements, travel and consent items",157,1048000,1205000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3091512-869174396b3e5b9c04e558539ed3418d&start=1048&end=1205","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3091512-869174396b3e5b9c04e558539ed3418d/thumbnail_1048000.jpg","/articles/6265420/Florida/School-board-unanimously-approves-policy-advertisements-travel-and-consent-items","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6265420-2050d8e2371c5099fff82e334d8205f9/orig.mp4?Expires=1773711945&Signature=ZZZZRLKXfqnnhKAnZ3DnN95a1vc8yLNkJIzOk0Q9QxVRYigvgXCk8-Se-rzl5z3C4FyyIOpXPOmDiejOgGBChSNaSiEa8wQwuU6nKFDLIJupA01nVEJt5ELrlcrDnlgpeW4wXLnNMqgjK803DaytbMyPaqqxHTb0xDvw6IfixopB7DfLAdOIHu~~JAfnICeDjkk6~bAdhd9dr8mZzHcIY~yPNFv~FbwcwCSe-lHgCrz6FibQSLU3mevIjrLU1ICzKFIY~Fjy1ets-DS7ifV6Z3tL90giDM-SxsHxG6ZcRD4CMUXqu6kEunjUB2nNX0cjfdizCudi65iwylO7gEyPLA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","School board members for Leon County voted unanimously Wednesday to advertise amendments to two district policies for public hearing and adoption, approve routine consent items and to authorize out-of-county travel for a board member.

The board approved motions on consent items, personnel documentation replacement and several agenda amendments before taking votes on policy advertisements, a lawsuit settlement update and a travel request. All recorded motions passed unanimously; no roll-call vote tallies were read into the public record.

The superintendent recommended the board advertise amendments to Policy 0169.1, \"Public participation at board meetings,\" for public hearing and adoption on June 17, 2025. The board also approved advertising amendments to Policy 865.8651, \"Board owned vehicles,\" for a June 17 public hearing; a board member commented that the vehicle policy changes are aimed at encouraging hybrids or electric vehicles when feasible as the district replaces fleet vehicles.

The board received an agenda item described as information on a lawsuit settlement; the public discussion did not provide settlement terms. The superintendent moved the item; the motion passed unanimously.

Board members also approved an out-of-county travel request for Board Member Laurie Lawson Cox to attend the Florida School Boards Association school finance workshop in Gainesville; board policy requires advance approval of such travel. A motion to add the travel item to the agenda was also approved earlier in the meeting.

The board passed routine consent items, including a motion to approve personnel actions with replacement documentation for an April 22 personnel listing. Members moved and seconded those consent measures and approved them without discussion.

Board members said the proposed vehicle policy edits were informed by recent sustainability-committee work and intended to steer future vehicle replacements toward hybrid or electric options where infrastructure permits. The board set June 17, 2025, as the date for the public hearings on both advertised policy amendments.
