During the Nassau County School Board workshop on September 8, 2025, key discussions centered around ongoing and upcoming construction projects aimed at improving school facilities, particularly at Fernandina Beach High School and Wildlight Elementary School.

One of the primary topics was the renovation of walkways at Fernandina Beach High School. Board members discussed the need to address safety concerns regarding slick surfaces that have caused issues for students navigating the campus. Plans are in place to meet with architects to finalize designs and timelines for these improvements, with a focus on ensuring that the project is completed efficiently.

Additionally, the board addressed the traffic flow at Wildlight Elementary School, where a new parent pick-up line is being developed. This initiative aims to enhance safety by preventing traffic from crossing paths, thereby reducing congestion during drop-off and pick-up times. A pre-bid meeting for this project was held recently, with bids expected to be submitted later this month.

Concerns were also raised about the condition of the library at the bridal school, which is reportedly in disrepair. Board members acknowledged the need to incorporate discussions about this facility into future budget meetings and capital project planning.

Overall, the workshop highlighted the board's commitment to improving school infrastructure and ensuring student safety, with several projects in the pipeline that directly address community needs. As these initiatives progress, the board will continue to engage with stakeholders to keep the community informed and involved in the decision-making process.
