A board member identified as Mr. Jim noted a change to the draft minutes under superintendent highlights: he said he had “added an extra sentence that you, made the nomination for impact award for Mister John Lott.” That amendment was included before the board voted to approve the minutes.

All routine items brought forward under the consent agenda and the finance consent were approved after motions, seconds and voice‑vote roll calls that the chair described as “all those in favor please say aye” and “motion carries.” Specific vote tallies were not provided on the record.

Why it matters: These approvals finalize the board’s administrative record and authorize the routine items needed for district operations; the amendment to the minutes records an added sentence about the nomination for an impact award for John Lott.

What was not decided: No substantive policy changes, budget cuts or program adoptions occurred as part of these routine approvals.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board Meeting 7/8/25","oneSentenceSummary","The Levy County School Board approved the meeting agenda, school-visit schedule, amended minutes, the consent agenda and the finance items by voice vote; an amendment to the minutes added a sentence noting a nomination for an impact award for John Lott.","taxTitle","Levy, School Districts, Florida","taxId",67946,"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},6173375,"Levy County board members praise schools; Cedar Key earns A and student places nationally in FBLA",486,696000,1182000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5381336-d8c3e356b7d94bcd1795f5e115ea88e1&start=696&end=1182","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5381336-d8c3e356b7d94bcd1795f5e115ea88e1/thumbnail_696000.jpg","/articles/6173375/Florida/Levy-County-board-members-praise-schools-Cedar-Key-earns-A-and-student-places-nationally-in-FBLA","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6173375-527a9b88f34d3ac191efdfedd92678ed/orig.mp4?Expires=1770455024&Signature=KxYRQxwpkEFMcYnTtgcz8--XXDtmVPs5HNJ81~izvF72YzqPWoZnh4msFN6ADyzGAJk8NbC6GHXP-Kzl4DMnvd~FDbKcyipHZrCQxmuhQX~sgpDGqqD54QUwSfZPG874heppZRWpSAX1yf0OqlRhtdYftuT3hv61frcAsOFqLUawoJKfe05hFun-CzOoGDSPr4FKyl9474Tk3YnEGFGT4jKFdyU4PbuKBritbgW9ZEmIV2JMiT-gH2mjbA-z86wDR-xmQsTWbsld28EyCTQU7EshaEf9Yl7XDaLGeB68cgtzgH2tNIZuhCSxBhMCK1xoGCJqAW~-j8NpKi1EUEEw4Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Board members used part of the meeting to recognize school performance and summer programs, congratulating teachers, staff and communities for gains across the district and for Cedar Key earning an A rating.

Mrs. Campbell said she understands the work behind the ratings: “I know the blood, sweat, and tears that go into this accomplishment.” She noted Cedar Key’s success is the result of consistent teacher and community effort, not a single program.

Mrs. Baxter echoed those remarks and described Cedar Key as having “a family type atmosphere,” and she praised the Summer Achieve program at Chiefland Elementary, saying visiting classrooms showed students were engaged and learning.

Board member Mr. Blackhurst also praised district perseverance, saying hard work across schools is producing steady improvement even when letter grades do not immediately reflect gains.

Chair (name not specified) announced a student achievement: “Carson Meeks of Bronson Middle High School finished fifth nationally in the FBLA impromptu speech contest,” and said the student is expected to compete again.

Why it matters: Board members framed the recognition as evidence of steady progress in classrooms and a reminder that local support, teacher commitment and summer programs contribute to student learning and retention.

What was not decided: These remarks were acknowledgements and congratulatory comments; no policy or budget decisions were made in response to the recognitions.","Board members congratulated schools on district improvement (district B) and singled out Cedar Key for an A rating; members also described summer programs and announced a student’s national FBLA finish.",{"_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},6173379,"Superintendent: Title I Part C migrant funding frozen; district projects about $1.8 million shortfall for 2025–26",258,383000,641000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5381336-d8c3e356b7d94bcd1795f5e115ea88e1&start=383&end=641","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5381336-d8c3e356b7d94bcd1795f5e115ea88e1/thumbnail_383000.jpg","/articles/6173379/Florida/Superintendent-Title-I-Part-C-migrant-funding-frozen-district-projects-about-18-million-shortfall-for-202526","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6173379-752d4d6f82ce3c2c4d5161e642e45a7c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770455024&Signature=N-vw2Ohe4Xn7TykXeM~EYCemr1hl5dX30SsYnkUPDThaDleFtHfeAd4ulXzAsU1FSPmZVLcW0HMsQmhL9zTWIp2m8358J-96TyLJV6aIVzZ1BbzjmkS8llVQt~Do5~9S3Y-Ol1bGtNQ9M-Wa0DUPp9795LFxNNzrwZTCWn3WcWSjtv~z5wLIRRctwc8Jycjyvxg89~9ZuT5wZUUqWY6JJvXdRrAEShWi8fUQu~lMdT65~ddB~dq1lMd8dO1huM-BRJ1LD~sqdFw6XNRld3xJMXdvwr7RePWDHhvs9S82q5QfxdxWluQaOGDtNmgyKpZTJj~q5iG9zoTrSCKSKvs4Pw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Superintendent (name not specified) told the Levy County School Board that the Title I, Part C migrant allocation has been frozen and that the district currently projects a roughly $1,800,000 deficit for the 2025–26 school year. The update came during the superintendent highlights portion of the meeting and followed email notices the superintendent said were circulated by district staff.

The superintendent said the freeze on the Title I, Part C migrant portion was reported in a staff email and described it as an action by federal authorities, saying, “I mean, the US Department of Education…that had to do just with the Title 1 Part C migrant portion of it, and that has been frozen.” She added that the notice was logged at about 4:16 p.m. and that the district is tracking related legislative changes included in an information packet from Grama Robinson.

Why it matters: Title I, Part C supports educational services for migrant students; a freeze on that funding and a multi‑million‑dollar projected shortfall would affect how the district uses reserves and prioritizes classroom services, the superintendent said.

Details and next steps: The superintendent said staff are building the proposed budget based on assumptions tied to “Senate Bill 2500” and that current estimated revenues are insufficient for the coming year. “We are seeing that our suspected revenues, of course, are not sufficient for the 25‑26 school year. And right currently, right now, we're looking at probably a 1,800,000 deficit,” she said. The superintendent said district administrators have met and will continue meeting with department leaders to identify cuts, reallocate funds and preserve reserve levels if possible.

The superintendent described an immediate schedule of follow‑up: staff will meet with the district instructional team the next day so department leaders can review options and return recommendations to the superintendent and board. She said the district would reconvene with the board after those department reviews and would keep the public informed through recorded board meetings and email updates.

On the migrant program specifically, the superintendent said the Alachua County migrant program had told district staff it would remain open until July 31 for administrative purposes only. She also said an emergency meeting had been called by “FAD, Senator Monford” and that more information might be available after that meeting; no timeline for final decisions was provided.

Discussion vs. action: Board members did not take formal budgetary action at the meeting. The superintendent’s remarks were presented as an informational update; board members asked questions and expressed concern. Mrs. Campbell noted that Lisa Custer, the district’s migrant representative, had lost her job at the county level and that the district’s migrant services staff were concerned. The superintendent said the district would keep board members and the public informed.

What’s not yet decided: The district has not adopted a final 2025–26 budget, nor did the board vote on any budget reductions at this meeting. Specific cuts, reserve uses or program changes were not specified and will depend on upcoming departmental reviews and any state or federal decisions.

Looking ahead: The superintendent said staff will continue meetings this week and bring more detailed revenue and expenditure options to the board when available.","The superintendent told the Levy County School Board that the Title I Part C (migrant) allocation has been frozen and the district currently estimates a roughly $1,800,000 revenue shortfall for the 2025–26 school year; staff outlined next steps including department reviews and emergency briefings.","actionData","errors"]
