Broski recognized school-level improvements and graduation milestones. He said Charles E. Bennett Elementary showed a 61‑point year-over-year improvement and Clay Hill Elementary improved by 82 points; he reported that Middleburg Elementary moved from a \"C\" to an \"A\" in his internal calculations and that Orange Park High School was close to an \"A.\" By the district's calculations, six schools improved by a full letter grade during the year.

On communications, Broski announced a districtwide rollout of Apogee, a single messaging platform intended to replace multiple communication apps. He said Apogee will allow teachers to create classroom \"rooms\" for two‑way messaging with parents and that the district planned a soft launch with full implementation in August. \"Please, please, please start early. Register so we can get you all all set up and good to go,\" Broski told parents about kindergarten registration, noting more than 500 students had already registered for kindergarten.

Broski also listed district summer meal locations and said administrative teams have been engaged in planning for the 2025–26 school year. He told the board the district is tracking enrollment trends and conducting outreach to understand why students leave and to market for students to return.

Why it matters: Enrollment and communication systems affect state funding, family engagement and classroom operations. A single, district-supported messaging tool is intended to reduce fragmentation of parent‑teacher communication and to create records that the district can retain for compliance.

Ending
The superintendent said principals and staff will continue planning through the summer; Apogee will become the district's primary communication tool in August and the district will continue to post information about kindergarten registration and summer services online.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025 June 5th Regular School Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Superintendent Broski on June 5 highlighted academic gains at several schools, announced a districtwide rollout of the Apogee parent‑teacher communication platform and urged families to register early for kindergarten.","taxTitle","Clay, School Districts, Florida","taxId",14349,"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},6212522,"Clay County schools report no safety deficiencies in fourth-quarter state inspections",115,3913000,4028000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3684188-eb21d247ada344b2fca741fc9f658b60&start=3913&end=4028","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3684188-eb21d247ada344b2fca741fc9f658b60/thumbnail_3913000.jpg","/articles/6212522/Florida/Clay-County-schools-report-no-safety-deficiencies-in-fourth-quarter-state-inspections","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6212522-953bf2e72edc08b36fd496bf2e2c533c/orig.mp4?Expires=1776541906&Signature=mBduWhE1KvJdOaGZ-3UQ2BUyFmfqy5LhecToFpiDT8XQ2yLBUyZuChu0Q5Ir~RSiLgbH3TtDpDBjPe20SFEFtw54o~tTMIBRgRJdjaeshFkB3Zn9SWk8ICscpFSD81cd9tcX96b64QQosLxUB7TL8o3-ylS6k8K2zMfpEBLarMR2NaVZSRFkcjWgLpYLx-sWW-QUv8QS8JxBeW9TnHWce8nMON76i4EenrBA5xsWsbS3-zTO7w2McVtB2VNi4FAPAqYO0GYkPjd25vlPyCfzRWWEgs7SqWQn~Cl1ohYi2hR7NLEXfw6YNf6HDug1W4sLBOyrlElbxkxRHab~i8Ff-Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Matt Boyack, Clay County District Schools director of safety and security, presented the district's quarterly safety report June 5 and said state inspections found no deficiencies at the schools reviewed in the quarter.

\"In the fourth quarter of the 24‑25 school year, Clay County District Schools had 4 schools inspected or reinspected by the Florida Department of Education Office of Safe Schools,\" Boyack said. \"This represents roughly 9% of our schools. All 4 of our inspected schools were found to not have any school safety requirement deficiencies.\"

The district reported the year-to-date total as 21 of 25 state inspections with no compliance issues, which Boyack called an accomplishment and attributed to coordination among school leaders, teachers and support staff. He cited Florida law requiring that the Office of Safe Schools provide quarterly reports to district superintendents and school boards.

Why it matters: School safety inspections and the district's compliance results are used by state officials to evaluate whether campuses meet specified safety requirements. The presentation fulfills a statutory reporting obligation and gives board members and the public a numerical snapshot of inspections and outcomes.

Board reaction and next steps
Board members thanked staff and school leaders for safety work. Boyack encouraged continued vigilance and public support for school safety priorities. No formal board action was required beyond the public presentation and receipt of the report.","District safety director Matt Boyack told the school board that four schools were inspected or reinspected by the Florida Department of Education Office of Safe Schools in the fourth quarter and all four were found to have no safety requirement deficiencies; year-to-date 21 of 25 inspections (84%) had no compliance issues.",{"_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},6212527,"Clay County board adopts more than 500 new policies and student code of conduct despite public requests for delay",536,4169000,4705000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3684188-eb21d247ada344b2fca741fc9f658b60&start=4169&end=4705","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3684188-eb21d247ada344b2fca741fc9f658b60/thumbnail_4169000.jpg","/articles/6212527/Florida/Clay-County-board-adopts-more-than-500-new-policies-and-student-code-of-conduct-despite-public-requests-for-delay","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6212527-2733823a91fded2e7ea013050f922744/orig.mp4?Expires=1776541906&Signature=ZPonJmhsYr4iqCsMIkyfBFoT9nTp1sAZMYxfjnIG6~RR9YFV6Wvp0NAhMfJH1UoYHBF0~6vra7v32STUnT1g5IrH8VLUJkEWcJDwTlbxsXoodDmn8zBRsM0RUPqd-1fOqUENsblLrMGl6Gfvkdaga496Sy5V9NiYqjHgZaq13a5lMBncJ5-ILI1qh6hjrBYKYYPWDIBqGx5nURKFnciz7EeE~kLh82oGsCVqwK-Xuhz3d9LuNIfomFvrN-PyYJ07~S6zmOLqP9XqnBOXjCpDUPQyn9HtbM-vIKGCabCQZtsabFmEwQlvUAGdWyR6OnrpQUtY6sY3-GqZsLaZRpLyUg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Clay County School Board voted unanimously June 5 to adopt a comprehensive set of bylaws and policies and separately approved revisions to the student and family handbook, including the code of student conduct.

The votes come after multiple members of the public urged the board to delay approval, saying parents had limited access to the draft documents and insufficient opportunity to provide meaningful feedback. \"This is long overdue, and that work is appreciated,\" public speaker Tanya Casson told the board, but added she was \"kind of saddened by the fact that we did not have any opportunities for the public, the parents to really come together and be able to provide insight and feedback.\"

Why it matters: The package replaces a smaller set of district rules with a comprehensive collection of more than 500 policies. Speakers and several board members said that scale, and the speed of public availability, made reviewing the changes difficult for parents and other stakeholders. Some speakers raised specific concerns about student counseling and notification to parents.

Key facts and outcomes
- Motion to approve the comprehensive bylaws and policies (agenda item D‑3) was moved by Board Member Gilhausen, seconded by Board Member Clark; the board voted 5–0 to adopt the policies.
- Motion to approve revisions to the Student and Family Handbook with the Code of Student Conduct (agenda item D‑6) was moved by Board Member Hanson, seconded by Board Member Clark; the board voted 5–0 to approve the handbook changes.
- Multiple public commenters asked the board to postpone votes and to provide easier public access to workshop materials and drafts. Judith Chapelle urged more public engagement and suggested a brief summary of consent-agenda items for the public. Sonia Cassin raised a specific concern that the district’s counseling policy \"does not say whether or not parental notification or consent will be required.\"

Board and staff response
Board members and staff repeatedly told speakers that state law controls some procedural requirements. Superintendent Broski and board members noted that policies adopted by the board can be revised later, and that administrative procedures (rather than policy text) will describe day-to-day implementation. Board members also said they plan to review the student code of conduct as a separate project and allow public input on portions of it. \"If there is something that the board deems needs to be revisited, they can revisit those things,\" one board member said after the votes.

Clerical and vendor details
Board members acknowledged working with Neola, the policy vendor, throughout the process and pointed to a Neola representative in the room. A public commenter said she had been asked to file a public-records request to see draft materials and that the cost was prohibitive.

Next steps and public access
Board members said the district will archive the old policies and post the newly adopted policies in a searchable format so the public can see changes. Several board members proposed scheduling a focused, board-led review of the student code of conduct beginning in August or September with public forums and research time to consider changes before the next formal vote.

Ending
The new policies and the revised handbook take effect as approved by the board; board members and district staff said they expect to return parts of the code of conduct to public review and to make the adopted materials available online for residents to compare the new and archived documents.","The Clay County School Board voted 5-0 June 5 to adopt a comprehensive set of bylaws and policies and to approve revisions to the student and family handbook and code of conduct. Several parents urged the board to postpone votes until the public could review draft documents and asked for clearer rules on counseling and parental notice.","actionData","errors"]
